What is Hangxiety?

Curious why the day after a night out drinking you feel more sped up and anxious than usual? There’s a new term for that! The term is “hangxiety!”  It’s getting more popular and just may be replacing the physical symptoms of a hangover as the most dreaded consequence of a night out drinking!

Dr. Jiseung Yoon, an addiction-medicine specialist who works with the online alcohol treatment program Monument says, late-night revelers often experience symptoms of anxiety like an increased heart rate and difficulty breathing the day after they overindulge in alcohol.

“The anxiety symptoms are from the alcohol leaving your body,” Yoon also says, explaining that the process is a withdrawal cycle. When an individual drinks alcohol, their brain becomes excited and produces pleasurable feelings. Once the alcohol wears off, your brain goes into overdrive, seeking more of the substance.
