Drinking alcohol comes with unwanted effects such as headaches, loss of energy and motivation, difficulty concentrating… In fact, several studies* show that veisalgia, more commonly known as a “hangover”, has an impact on our physical and cognitive abilities…
But how can this be explained?
Alcohol is an anaesthetic substance, which results in a slowing down of communication between neurons.
What’s more, brain cells also start working differently. In the long run, some brain cells even disappear – this is known as “brain tissue loss”.
For your health, the ANSES (French food safety agency) recommends drinking no more than two glasses a day, and not every day. Hedonist Labs is committed to a prevention approach, complementing existing campaigns, to help keep alcohol consumption in check.
