What’s your Roman empire? Now that I’ve entered my 30s, mine is my hangovers. Specifically, their random and inexplicable intensity. In my uni days, I could down tequila shots, stumble home at 4am, and wake up for a lecture a few hours later, completely unscathed. Nowadays, I drink less regularly and in moderation, yet just a glass or two of wine can land me in bed with all-day nausea and hanxiety levels bouncing off the charts. A cruel twist of fate, indeed - which is why, when I saw hangover cure pills Myrkl doing the rounds on TikTok, I was intrigued.
Science says that hangovers happen because alcohol dehydrates you, spikes your blood sugar levels, and puts your body into an inflammatory state. As you age, your body changes too, so the effects of drinking feel loads worse. Metabolism slows, staying hydrated gets tougher, and suddenly, we're more sensitive to irritants like alcohol. It's a rough combo.
