Abstract

Recently, the alcohol hangover has been accepted by the International Classification of Diseases – 11th revision as a separate ‘child entity’ to alcohol intoxication, a disease. Currently there are no marketed hangover treatments with support for clinical efficacy. Furthermore, diverse perspectives exist among healthcare professionals, policymakers, and alcohol consumers regarding the necessity and desirability of developing such treatments.
