In addition to throwing up or suffering from a massive hangover, new research from Loyola University’s School of Medicine suggests drinking excessive amounts of alcohol “significantly disrupts the immune system.”
The study subjects, who had a median age of 27, were given four or five shots of vodka depending on their weight. At 20 minutes after “peak intoxication,” their immune systems showed increased activity. But two and five hours after maximum intoxication, the opposite proved true – the subjects’ immune systems were less active than they were when they were sober.
