If you drink alcohol, the chances are that on occasion you’ve overdone it and drunk way more than you planned to. Or maybe you decided to let yourself have a big night out, even though you know you’d have to deal with a pounding headache the next morning.
Well, to make things worse, that hangover often comes hand in hand with overwhelming feelings of shame and regret about what you might have said or done during the night out. And that combo now has a name: hangxiety. Of course, it’s a mash-up of two words: hangover and anxiety.
