Why do we get hungry when we've had a lot of alcohol?

Two main reasons to my knowledge...\n1) Alcohol is utilised in addition to glucose in your bloodstream. Therefore, as you drink, your body is using the alochol as an energy source, while parts such as your brain and liver that can only use glucose as energy continue using the glucose remaining in your blood. As a result, its onl after you stop drinking and your body has burnt off all the alco it realizes "Crap1 I'm outta glucose!" and you get RAVENOUSLY hungry\n2) Alcohol dehydrates, and along with that you losesome minerals.. your body signals this need to you by making you hungry to try to replace what you've..urinated..out. This is minor in compariso to the first as far as i KNow

could be caused anything from diabetes, to problems with your liver, to lack of sleep.  over-indulging on alcohol can throw your eyesight out of whack.  or perhaps you simply need glasses.  try a cleansing diet.

you have a feeling of euphoria, your lose your inhibitions, you can't react to things as quickly, and you may not see things clearly, depending on how much you drink. if you drink WAY too much, you will feel dizzy and naseous and you will barf.

Drink water... but you really should eat.  Hunger pains are an indicator that your body needs food.

The protein and alcohol have very little to do with one another really, but consider this.... alcohol is a lot of empty calories that you will have to work twice as hard to burn off. You are being counter productive to go work you butt off at the gym then turn around and get blitzed. You're cancelling the workout with those empty calories.

Because you're eating, drinking, talking too quickly and you've swallowed air.  You can also get them by eating or drinking something with excess air, like a carbonated beverage.

There's a hormone called insulin which is secreted by the pancreas which helps decrease your glucose (blood sugar) levels.  After a large meal, there is a huge spike in post-meal insulin response which overcompensates and produces more insulin than is necessary to quickly lower blood glucose.  This in itself can make you feel tired and hungry again.  At the same time another hormone is released called cholecystokinin. One of the functions of this hormone is to make you feel full. But it also activates the areas in the brain involved in sleep.  Finally, the level of an amino acid called "tryptophan" increases, it is converted into "serotonin" in the brain. Serotonin also does a very good job of making you feel sleepy!\n\nBest advice:  Eat more frequently and eat smaller meals to avoid this effect.

Yep, too much alcohol consumption will pickle your liver, cause cirrhosis and in turn cause jaundice. You do have to be a very heavy drinker for a fairly long period of time for this to happen, unless your liver is already compromised and unhealthy.

Alcohol has just empty calories with no nutritive value at all.  All of these calories add up and cause you to gain weight.  The goal is have a calorie deficit from what your body normailly has.  Eating right can help, but can take a long time, and you do not necessarily have the gratifaction of seeing the weight loss quickly.  A multiplier to your proper diet would be to at least walk (or any physical exercies) for 30 minutes to an hour every day which will help speed up your weight loss, and also just help out with your general health.

Could be any number of reasons from that your body needs vitamins and minerals, or something in the food you crave. For example, chocolate (very craved by some) contains a chemical that interacts with the hormones in the body... That said there are also hormonal fluxes just before the start of menses, which will trigger cravings.

Because that is where most of the fat is biologically stored on men. Women need a lot more body fat for pregnancy and therefore we have other areas as well (like the thighs and butt) to store our energy in case of starvation... \n\nCut down on the beer and any alcohol and you will see a miracle...and in general people drink too many calories. Juices and soft drinks have as much as a whole meal!!!

I think it must be harder on your system.  Your system has just cranked up it's metabolism, and alcohol is a depressant to your nervous system.  Plus, booze gets converted to sugar.  So you aren't giving your tired body good food, you are abusing it with sugar and a depressant.  I bet you'll be mighty sore the next day!

You just have a very high metabolism. Or you may be on a certain vitamin or drug that gives you more energy than your body can contain.

Check out \nhttp://www.obesityhelp.com\n\nI have read from many patients that sometimes they get the dumping syndrome when drinking alcohol that has lots of sugar in it (mixed drinks)...and they get drunk very fast...like after one or two drinks....\n\nPlease remember that most surgeons do not want you to drink anything at all while eating....they suggest that you drink before eating and after....drinking anything at all will cause you to feel full and you will not want to eat...I would talk to your surgeon to see what he/she recommends

Yet hunger really has nothing to do with an empty stomach but, instead, is a product of certain nutrients missing in the blood.\n\nIt happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach.  Its called Borborygmi\n\n Furthermore, growling doesn't only come from the stomach but, just as often, can be heard coming from the small intestines. Growling is more commonly associated with hunger because it is typically louder when the stomach and intestines are empty and so the organs' contents don't muffle the noise.
