“I'm never drinking again. And this time I mean it!”
“再也不喝了，这次我是来真的！”
Anyone who's suffered through a bad hangover has muttered these words.
任何有过宿醉经历的人都曾信誓旦旦的这样说过吧。
But does a hangover even delay your next drink?
但一次宿醉真的就能推迟你下次醉酒吗？
Scientists recruited almost 400 adults who consumed alcohol at least once a week.
科学家们召集了差不多400名一般每周至少饮酒一次的成年人。
At the beginning of the study, the participants answered questions about alcohol and nicotine dependence.
在研究开始阶段，参加受试的人需要对酒精和尼古丁依赖性进行问卷调查。
Afterwards, they kept drinking diaries for three weeks.
之后他们要保持三周时间的饮酒记录。
They also kept morning and bedtime reports on their mental status and stress level.
在早晚时段他们要记录下自己的精神状态和压力水平。
To see if hangovers inspired participants to delay their next binge,
为了检测是否宿醉会刺激参与调查的人们进行下次饮酒作乐的时间，
researchers measured the time between drinking episodes.
研究人员们对他们每次饮酒的时间间隔进行了测量计算。
On average, hangovers did postpone the next drink—but only by about 6 hours.
平均来看，宿醉确实推迟了下次开始喝酒的时间—但也只是大约6小时的延迟。
The work is published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
该研究已在《酗酒临床与试验研究》杂志上发表。
In addition to discovering that hangovers fail to deter drinking,
除了发现宿醉并不能延迟下次饮酒的开始时间以外，
the study found that people with alcohol dependence or financial stress were more likely to develop hangovers.
该研究还发现有酒精依赖性或者承受经济压力的人们更容易发生宿醉。
And of course, the only way to prevent hangovers entirely was to limit drinking. Cheers!
并且，唯一防止宿醉的方法就是减少饮酒。咱们干杯庆祝一下吧！
