A member asked:

I drank 16 units of alcohol and regret it last night. had a hangover all day ugh. if i dont drink alcoholfor 2 weeks will my body fully heal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and sooner: Typically, a hangover will end within 24 hours. Hangovers begin within several hours after you stop drinking, when blood alcohol concentration (BAC) falls. Symptoms of a hangover usually peak about the time BAC is zero and may continue for up to 24 hours thereafter.
