  Alcohol decomposition in the body will be metabolized to acetaldehyde, the accumulation of acetaldehyde if the delayed metabolism for acetic acid out of the body, it will cause red face, headache. Acetaldehyde is a toxic metabolite of alcohol, which does not lead to intoxication but can poison cells and greatly increase the probability of cancer.
  
  2. Effects of dehydration
  
  Because alcohol has diuretic effect, after drinking alcohol will increase the frequency of going to the toilet, then if there is no additional water, it will cause the body dehydration. As the body needs sufficient water to break down acetaldehyde, dehydration will lead to a delay in the breakdown of acetaldehyde, causing headaches.
  
  3. Effects of impurities
  
  Brewed alcohol usually contains more impurities, such as sake, rice wine and wine, etc. These impurities will cause the liver to metabolize alcohol less efficiently, which will lead to a greater chance of headaches. Distilled spirits, on the other hand, contain fewer impurities and are less likely to cause headaches. This is the reason why the so-called “good wine does not cause headache”.

  2. Eat more food containing taurine
  
  Taurine is an amino acid that increases liver function and inhibits cholesterol absorption. When drinking alcohol, the liver will help the body to break down the alcohol, and taurine can enhance the function of the liver, so appropriate intake of food containing taurine can help metabolize alcohol.
  
  Taurine is abundant in clams and shellfish, squid, octopus, and other fish. Because it has the property of being easily soluble in water, so when drinking alcohol, drink more soup of these foods.
