Is it safe to use oral rehydration solutions to prevent a hangover?

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In Colombia, the use of oral rehydration solutions (ORS) has become popular for the prevention and management of alcoholic hangovers, due to their ability to replenish fluids and electrolytes. A hangover, which occurs after excessive alcohol consumption, involves several pathological factors such as dehydration, neurotransmitter disruption, and oxidative stress. However, it is important to understand that ORS are classified as medications, are indicated for the treatment of dehydration associated with gastrointestinal diseases, and have some contraindications. Therefore, their use is not completely risk-free. Below is an analysis of the safety of using these products in the context of a hangover.
