Medical miscellany: Why hangovers get worse with age  By Daily
Mail Reporter   Older people feel the effects of hangovers more
than young drinkers   Young people - and regular drinkers -
produce more of this enzyme, so they don't feel the effects of
alcohol as much as older people, says consultant hepatologist Dr
Rajiv Jalan of University College Hospital London.   The only
good news is, with age, hangover headaches become less of a
problem.   The headaches are the result of alcohol damaging the
brain, causing it to swell temporarily and crash against the
skull.  But as we age our brains shrink, so there is more room
for it to swell before it hits the bone.
