Is 'hang-xiety' real? The dread after drinking examined

Original: 'That nagging feeling of dread': Is 'hang-xiety' a real thing? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c32l4nqx5wvko?at_medi

The BBC is examining 'hang-xiety', the feeling of anxiety and dread people report the day after drinking alcohol. The piece asks whether the phenomenon is a genuine, recognised effect or just a popular buzzword, exploring what happens in the brain and body after a night of drinking. Readers are weighing in on their own post-drinking anxiety experiences.

Why now: Interest in alcohol's mental health effects and the catchy new term for post-drinking anxiety is drawing attention.
