In reply to Hungovers - what happens to neurotransmitters?, posted by Jimmyboy on January 1, 2007, at 11:22:31
Ive experienced this before as well... I believe, in my opinion, that it is a effect from NDMA glutamate receptor antagonism, which is an effect that alcohol has. That's purely my own speculation, but it makes some degree of sense. I always feel slightly more socially outgoing and good in some strange way the day after mild drinking.
Or, it might be that the people who feel like this are alcohol bipolar, and alcohol kicks your body into mild hypomania.
Or it might be that the first few hours of a hangover suck... then, you start to feel better and its like some stress has been lifted and you're psychologically relieved.
In any case, I think all 3 of my theories have some possibility of being correct.
