The Tiny Trouble Makers
Imagine your liver is a busy factory. When you drink alcohol, it turns the big party drinks into waste products. Usually, the factory cleans up quickly. But if you have too many drinks, the factory gets overwhelmed and leaves a mess behind.
This mess makes you feel sick. You get a headache because your brain is thirsty from all that extra water leaving your body. Your tummy feels wobbly because the waste products tickle your stomach lining like tiny itchy bugs.
Why Does It Hurt?
The bad stuff builds up and waits for you to wake up. That is why you feel terrible in the morning after a big night out.
Examples
- A child feels sick after drinking too much juice because their tummy gets upset.
