    Yup, science is our friend again here. Our body changes the yummy ethanol into painful ethanoic acid. (When you exercise too much, the pain in your muscles is caused by lactic acid made by metabolising sugar without alcohol: the ethanoic your body makes from metabolising ethanol is all around your bloodstream going to every cell, so the pain is "all over".)

    Organic acids, such as ethanoic and lactic, are classed as weak acids. These acids react with fats to create a new substance, called a lipid. Lipids are really, really useful to the body as they form the cell membrane, although we can make these membranes with just fats (as many fats are lipids in the first place). Lipids don't hurt our bodies the way acids do. Oil, however, isn't a lipid, which is why fried food is great for releaving the hangover symptoms.
