The Krebs cycle, or citric acid cycle, is a key metabolic pathway that generates energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. After heavy alcohol consumption, the liver prioritizes metabolizing alcohol, which can temporarily disrupt the Krebs cycle and deplete energy reserves. This disruption, along with the buildup of toxic byproducts like acetaldehyde, contributes to the symptoms of a hangover, including fatigue, headache, and nausea. Additionally, dehydration and electrolyte imbalances from alcohol consumption further exacerbate hangover symptoms.
