The specifics of just what causes a hangover remain surprisingly murky. While your liver is able to process modest amounts of alcohol without allowing much acetaldehyde to escape into your bloodstream, heavy drinking overburdens it. The real problem seems to be acetaldehyde and the other byproducts your liver pumps out after breaking down the alcohol. The mice in the study were consuming the same amount of alcohol over the course of a week, but they were placed into two groups: one group that drank for a few consecutive nights, and one group that took breaks in between binges.Ĭullen's team observed increased rates of atherosclerosis-or clogged arteries-in the binge-drinking mice, while the mice who drank moderately did not have as many clogged arteries.Ĭullen says it’s not exactly the alcohol that poses the problem when you drink a lot. Cullen defines “moderate” drinking as the equivalent of two drinks, and binge drinking as seven. Cullen, Ph.D., a research associate professor of clinical and translational research at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “We did this study in mice where we compared the effects of 7 days of moderate drinking to 2 consecutive days of binge drinking,” says John P. We hate to break it to you, but consecutive nights of heavy drinking are bad news for your brain and body, experts warn. Either way, there's no way you can avoid drinking again tonight. But you’ve got a hard-partying brother in town, or you're supposed to do a friend’s birthday bar crawl, or you’re on a bachelor party in Cancun. Normally you’d take it easy tonight and have a few beers with your buddies, or at most, enjoy a night in front of the TV.

But both on-and-off couples later split, with a source telling Us Weekly in June 2020 that "there's always a possibility that will get back together down the line.You hit it hard last night, and you feel like a pile of dog crap this morning. While the " Back To You" hitmaker would briefly move on with Justin Bieber, focus on her physical and mental health, and release new music of her own, The Weeknd got back together with his ex, Bella Hadid, shortly after. Their relationship kind of came out of nowhere." "Everyone wants love, but his focus is the business," the insider explained. But according to another source cited by Page Six, The Weeknd just wasn't in the right place for a relationship. That wasn't easy on them." Even without the world watching a celeb couple's every move, long distance relationships are rarely easy. When People first reported that Gomez and The Weeknd had called it quits, an insider claimed that distance and differing work schedules played a huge part in their decision to split: "It's been hard with him being on tour and her shooting in New York. So what went wrong if things were still good between them? This is the real reason why The Weeknd and Selena Gomez split. Thankfully, this former couple reportedly remained in touch after ending things on amicable terms. It's been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading." A source cited by the outlet at the time even claimed that Gomez and The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, had been on the fence about their blossoming romance: "She and Abel have been going back and forth for a few months about their relationship. That was when People first reported the breakup news, at least, but it's possible they called it quits a little earlier: just days before, Gomez was famously spotted hanging out with her on-and-off boyfriend, Justin Bieber, and The Weeknd reportedly unfollowed Gomez's family, friends, and staff on Instagram. But after a whirlwind romance of tagging each other on Instagram, being spotted out and about on date nights, and showing public displays of affection on nearly every red carpet they walked together, the couple split just 10 months later. The Weeknd and Selena Gomez seemed like the perfect couple when they started dating in January 2017.
