Rigorous exercise will cause the body to break down some of the acetaldehyde (waste byproduct of alcohol) to be used as fuel which in turns makes you feel less crappy.
Man! You guys that never ever over indulge sound like a real fun bunch.
I would agree with that study findings.
Also another aspect of drinking and running, I've woken up after a night out, went for a run feeling pretty crappy, seem to burn it off, and finish the run feeling pretty good.
I use alcohol to lubricate socializing with others, which is fun. I see zero benefit to alcohol beyond that, only harms.
Running does sometimes seem to cure random headaches for me, but it’s hit or miss. If it’s mild, it often magically goes away after a couple miles in, but I do remember occasions when it was more throbbing on a track workout day and I still headed out hoping it would go away only to walk back home defeated coz it continued to be very unpleasant. I assume physiologically headache amelioration has something to do with body temperature increase and increased blood flow in the head.
You use alcohol to aid your socialization skills and then hop on letsrun to call other people losers? Dude.
Well, I am not consuming that much, that I encounter such problem. But again it depends on the human body about how it reacts this to reduce the hangover.

Speaking of products of hangovers, this bot account
Alcohol seems to be the body's first choice of fuel.
Ever since I discovered that 12yr and older single malt Scotch whiskey doesn't give me any hangovers whatsoever (after foolishly being late to a 6 flight tasting with generous pours in Scotland and downing all of it in 30mins despite the expert's strongly recommending that I don't), it's been my recovery beverage after weekend long runs in a fasted state. Helps that long runs lead to higher catalase which leads to extrahepatic alcohol metabolism. That and all the juicy mitochondria convert acetaldehyde to acetate. Lots of other stuff going on, too, like supposedly decreasing uric acid levels. Hopefully as a close to 50yr old, this isn't screwing up my health. It's not cheap, that's for sure.

Reading comprehension deficited losers are so uninteresting. I prefer the literates.

Ask Pre :) . When I was a kid I used to read how he worked out every day, 10 miles every morning at 6 min or faster pace, even after a night of drinking/partying but inevitable he would "vomit", as part of the hangover but it never stopped him from working out. I have not had a hangover since college, and even though I ran track and cross country, a morning hangover was never cured by running, it however gave me the motivation to not drink so much and severely limit it. That was the cure for a hangover, to never get on in the first place :)
