I agree that keeping a beer and headache diary would be a good idea–especially if going on a bender is your way of doing the research. Otherwise you will looking in the recycling the next morning and trying to figure out which bottle was the culprit. However, if you find that your likelihood of getting a tension headache increases with the consumption of alcohol, you may want to avoid drinking if you have chronic tension headaches. This eliminates at least one of the possible triggers of tension headaches. Due to similarities, cluster headaches and migraine headaches often get grouped together.<\/p>\n
Additionally, consider drinking electrolyte-rich beverages, like sports drinks, after consuming alcohol. They replace lost fluids and electrolytes, reducing the headache risk. When you drink beer, your body may not retain enough water, causing dehydration. To counteract this, drink water before and after consuming beer.<\/p>\n
