At the upcoming International Conference on Addiction Medicine, Mental Health and Psychiatry (ICAMP 2026), Dr. Joris C Verster from Utrecht University, Netherlands will deliver an in-person keynote on the surprising link between alcohol hangovers and immune-related health risks.
Title : Alcohol
hangovers and the risk of developing immune-related diseases
Why This Topic Matters:
- ๐น Frequent Hangovers
Can Be Worse: Contrary to popular belief, the more often you
experience hangovers, the more severe they become.
- ๐งฌ Immune
System Under Stress: Alcohol triggers inflammation in the body,
elevating markers such as cytokines and CRP.
- ⚠️ Long-Term
Health Implications: Chronic inflammation caused by repeated hangovers
could increase the risk of conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular
disease.
- ๐ Evidence
from Research: A study of 108 young adults shows a strong negative
correlation between hangover severity/frequency and immune fitness,
meaning the body’s ability to fight off infections is compromised.
- ๐งช Scientific
Validation: Salivary biomarkers confirm that hangovers can have
measurable effects on the immune system.
- ๐ Key
Insight: Regular heavy drinking and frequent hangovers may have
lasting effects on your overall health.
