What does a hangover feel like?

Question

I’m curious, what is it like to have a hangover?

So many different types. The best are when you just feel a little tired. Happens more when you’re young than when you are older. Body has more stem cells and can recover faster. Also if you eat a good meal before it can soak up the alcohol. Drinking in moderation usually doesn’t lead to a hangover, it’s when you drink in excess. Since judgement can go out the window with every drink you take, drinking too much in certain situations is something that happens. For excessive drinking hangovers Sometimes make you wake up and you feel like you’re still drunk but want to vomit, and you’re very uncomfortable. Occasionally it’s a degree worse and you do vomit. Like you might be hugging the toilet all morning. But on top of that you’re messed up, Like you can’t control your body temp. More blankets? Less blankets? Who knows. It can’t be different degrees of that, more tolerable or less tolerable. Sometimes it’s just a painful headache. Occasionally it’s all of that combined. Basically unless you’re really getting something out of drinking in excess, I wouldn’t recommend it. Anyways that’s my experience in words, the real thing is way worse.

It sucks. Not worth it. I’ve had a couple (unintentionally, since I don’t intentionally drink too much). I had one bad one many years ago after accidentally improperly mixing tequila. I drink in moderation now so I rarely get them, and if/when I do they are minor.
Nausea, headache, more nausea, more headache, sensitivity to light. It’s not fun. I don’t understand people who enjoy getting wasted. If you feel like shit the next day, I don’t call that fun. Plus, people say and do really stupid things and can become very obnoxious when drunk. If you’re gonna drunk wait till you’re 21 and drink in moderation. Don’t listen to your friends who might try to pressure you into getting wasted etc. They’re idiots.

In all honesty I used to feel really lethargic, really depressed, and just couldn't really start the day.
Sometimes a headache if I didn't drink water before bed.
Often accompanied by ringing ears if the music had been especially loud.
On the rare occasion I was so wasted I'd throw up. Just sore, sore stomach throat and booming headache.
I haven't had a drink now for 5 years, just out of personal choice and I honestly don't miss it.
Getting so slushed that you feel this way I really don't recommend.

I’ve never had a headache but I’ve been sick to the point of vomiting. You throw up so much you keep heaving but there’s isn’t anything left and you’ll be lucky if bile comes up so your just not curled over hurling for no reason. You vomit so much you pray to God if it stops you’ll never do it again. Your stomach aches so bad. That’s my experience.

KingofCups · Answer

Well the severity depends on a couple things
1) Did stay hydrated?
2) Did you get at least 5-6hrs sleep?
3) Did you go to black out level drunk?

If you hydrate, sleep at a decent hour, and drink just the right amount to get drunk then the hangover is not too bad at all, you'll be feeling relatively normal by the afternoon.

If you went to sleep at like 5AM, didn't drink any water, and got close to blackout you're basically fucked. You need the whole day to recover, your head is pounding and everyone you encounter or anything you have to do is bitch.

jaybee281 · Answer

The fuckin headache - you feel like you wanna squeeze your brain out - Also you can't focus on anything and you always feel like you need to drink water.. And then as you want to drink water you feel nauseous about it so basically you'll end up with a desert tongue and a sore throat along with the fuckin headache

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

It's sometimes good, and this headache is acceptable, and then you realize the hot chick in your bed is a guy and that the headache is most likely the date rape drugs. Then the methed out dude on the couch drinking bong water yells at you..."hey!, treat that cunt like a laday!" Hangovers dude... if you don't have one you're not doing it right.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

A lot depends on what alcohol you have been drinking, also if you mixed grain and vine.

Grape or grain, but never the twain

Also some lagers are more chemical than others and are really shit the next morning.

You feel lethargic, easily annoyed, nauseous, a bit like having the flu, also if curry etc night before, you end up with Ghandi’s revenge, now it’s the flu with food poisoning.

Weirdwizardz · Answer

Usually you feel pretty bad. The degree of severity differs from hangover to hangover but mine usually consists of headaches, diarrhea, puking and feeling nauseous. No fun whatsoever. I rarely drink because the fun part of drinking is never worth the hangover lol

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Depends on what you drink and whether you puked before sleeping.

Wine coolers and wine hangovers are the nasty ones.

Hangovers usually leave behind headaches, a lingering feeling of nausea, light and sound sensitivity. Feel sluggish and slow for the duration of it.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Really bad headaches that feel like there's a gnome running around in your head going crazy with a sludgehammer. Then there is nausea/vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound and your thirsty. It's just overall a very unpleasant experience really all you feel like doing is taking a shower, drinking water, taking a bottle of aspirin and going back to bed.

Trust me it's not fun especially if your a heavy drinker like I was.

Lou41 · Answer

On a bad hangover the room is spinning, you lay on your bathroom floor because the cold floor is the only thing that feels good, then you puke violently into the waste basket and promise yourself you'll never drink again. Then you feel drained and nauseous all day.
The next day you feel better and start drinking again.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

I never got hangovers until like a couple years ago. Went years heavily drinking and hypothetically able to run a marathon the next day. But they feel horrible. I get a bubbly tummy, nausea, headache, sleepiness. Mid afternoon nap is a must

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Imagine the worst possible headache you can have, light sensitivity, noise sensitivity and someone flashing strobe lights at you and banging on drums.

Then wondering what the hell did I do, I don't recall what happened last night.

TsundereMatrix · Answer

My best description from my experience is you feel like you ran for a very long time. You are achy and your head hurts. On top of that you may feel hungry but too nauseous to eat.

TrueConfection · Answer

It feels like having a stomach virus and falling down the stairs under blinding lights while loud music is playing.

AviatorTom · Answer

You really don't want to know. A morning-after hangover feels like your head is about to explode, you can't walk a straight line (though you think you are), and your stomach feels queasy.

Jintendo18 · Answer

Headaches, nausea, irritability, fatigue, dehydration… yeah, they’re not fun. You’ll feel off for most of the day no matter what you do to mitigate it. If you get one that means you drank too much.
