MISSING OUT OR FEELING CHEATED: HEALTH: THE PHYSICAL RECESSION – NIGHT SWEATS; HANGOVERS
Waking in the night bathed in sweat, hot or cold, anxieties flooding the imagination, is a physical side-effect of Life Panic. Unpleasant and uncomfortable, it passes as the menopause does.
It is a curious phenomenon that men can have worse hangovers during the male-menopause than at any other time in their lives. Whether this is simply due to the fact they drink more alcohol during this period than at any other time is not clear. Some swear to having as severe a hangover with only two glasses of white wine as they do after a night out with lashings of iced vodka and lavish amounts of red wine at dinner.
Perhaps man’s disturbed emotional system causes the body to burn up alcohol at a different rate or perhaps because drinking is more important they are not eating enough. Food will buffer alcohol; alcohol consumed on an empty stomach has quicker and greater effect and is more likely to lead to a hangover.
