Objective: Tolerance to the acute effects of alcohol, i.e., feeling less intoxicated after consuming same amount has been reported for individuals who regularly consume alcohol. In this study, it was investigated whether such tolerance also exists experiencing alcohol hangover. Methods: Data from five studies that assessed hangover frequency and severity were combined (n = 924). Partial correlations computed between severity, with age, sex, weekly consumption as possible confounders. Results: A significant positive correlation found (r 0.692, p < 0.001). After correcting consumption, partial remained 0.526, Conclusions: The observed association suggests a reverse tolerance: if hangovers are experienced more frequently, they severe.
