英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The unpleasant after-effects of the consumption of alcohol; a hangover. uncountable
    — There is no consensus definition of veisalgia ("alcohol hangover," from the Norwegian kveis, or "uneasiness following debauchery," and the Greek algia, or "pain"). Most descriptive and experimental studies have identified a set of common symptoms: headache, diarrhea, anorexia, tremulousness, fatigue, and nausea[…]. Perhaps the most alarming feature of veisalgia is its high prevalence. In a study of college students, 25% of students reported experiencing a hangover in the previous week and 29% reported losing school time for hangover recovery.

词源

From Norwegian kveis (“uneasiness after debauchery”) + -algia (pain, suffering) (from New Latin -algia, from Ancient Greek ἄλγος (álgos, “pain”)), coined as a medical term by Jeffrey G. Wiese, Michael G. Shlipak, and Warren S. Browner in a 2000 article published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (see the quotation).
