While it’s important to drink water both during and after drinking, drinking water will not prevent your hangover. Dehydration isn’t the primary cause of hangovers. In fact, it’s not even the secondary cause. Dehydration is the tertiary cause of hangovers. In order to effectively curb those hangover effects, you must get to the root cause of why hangovers occur: GABAa rebound and acetaldehyde buildup.
Cheers Restore tackles those root causes. The primary reason why you feel hungover is due to GABAa rebound. Alcohol binds to GABAa receptors in your brain. This increases GABAa-like activity, making you feel relaxed. When you stop drinking, your GABAa receptors go into withdrawal, causing you to feel effects like “hangxiety,” headaches, and nausea. The DHM in Cheers Restore binds to the GABAa receptors reducing GABAa rebound, and ultimately your relative time and level of discomfort. The secondary reason why you feel hungover is acetaldehyde buildup. To metabolize alcohol, your body must first convert alcohol into acetaldehyde (which is 20x more toxic than alcohol). Acetaldehyde eventually turns into acetate, finally being able to clear it through your system safely. Unfortunately, the liver can only turn acetaldehyde into acetate so fast (on average, your body can process up to 1 drink’s worth of acetaldehyde per hour). This buildup is associated with the most common hangover effects, such as headaches and nausea. Cheers Restore reduces the amount and time of exposure to acetaldehyde following alcohol consumption.
