View Full Version : So how bad was YOUR hangover?

Classified by a 5 star system...which have you fallen under?

1 star hangover

No pain. No real feeling of illness.. Your sleep last night was a mere disco nap which is giving you a whole lot of misplaced energy. Be glad that you are able to function relatively well. However, you are still parched. You can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel this way. Even vegetarians are craving a Cheeseburger and a side of fries.

2 star hangover

Slight headache. Don't feel sick, but something is definitely amiss. You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler. The coffee you chug to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full English breakfast. Last night has wreaked havoc on your bowels and even though you have a nice demeanor about the office, you are costing your employer valuable money because all you really can handle is aimlessly surfing the net and writing junk e-mails.

3 star hangover

Definite headache. Stomach feels crappy. You are definitely a space cadet and so not productive. Anytime a girl walks by you gag because her perfume reminds you of the random gin shots you did with your alcoholic friends after the bouncer kicked you out at 1:45 a.m. Life would be better right now if you were in your bed with a dozen donuts and a liter of coke watching Good Morning with Richard and Judy. You've had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 2 Sausage Rolls and a liter of diet coke - yet you haven't peed once.

4 star hangover

Your head is throbbing and you can't speak too quickly or else you might honk. You have lost the will to live. Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze. You wore nice clothes, but that can't hide the fact that you missed an oh-so crucial spot shaving, (girls, it looks like you put your make-up on while riding the bumper cars), your teeth have sweaters, your eyes look like one big vein and your hair style makes you look like a reject from the class picture of Moss side secondary school circa 1976. You would give a weeks pay for one the following: 1. Home time, 2. A duvet and somewhere to be alone, or 3. A time machine so you could go back and NOT have gone out the night before.

5 star hangover (aka Dante's 4th Circle of Hell)

You have a second heartbeat in your head which is actually scaring the employee who sits next to you. Death seems pretty good right now. You can't focus as your eyes are scrunched up against the overpowering glare from your computer screen. Rancid vodka vapour is seeping out of every pore, staining your shirt and making you dizzy. You still have toothpaste crust in the corners of your mouth, at least you think it's toothpaste crust. You don't give a damn either way. Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva and your tongue is suffocating you. You'd cry but that would take the last of the moisture left in your body. Talking is not an option. Your boss doesn't even get mad at you and your co-workers think that your dog just died because you look so pathetic. You should have called in sick because all you can manage to do is breathe....very gently.

I have fallen under.......ALL OF THEM.....at one point or another. But, since I've matured, and know my drinking limits, 1 is my number now. (my hubby laughs at how I can gauge if I've had enough to drink....my nose goes numb....I then stop....feeling comes back and I can continue again! Haven't had a hangover with this system in the last 2 years!!!)http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//00hahaha.gif

I believe that I can lay claim to all five categories at one time or another. Although the 5 stars were limited. I think the last time that happened involved a bottle of Jagermeister (spelling?). Man! That stuff should be outlawed. I was basically comatose for two days after that one. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//00drunk.gif Never again...

Gee...even Dante's 4th circle of hell!? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif I've actually never gotten drunk in my life. Addiction is in my bloodline, so I keep to my limits http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif

I have however seen people at all of these levels. One guy got so bad he was curdled in a corner with a bottle of...I think it was white zin, clutching it for dear life. One of my friends tried to grab it and he freaked out! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

We may have a new topic sprung from this....Tales from the Drunk Side http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

About 8 years ago.....I got soooo drunk,http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//00drunk.gif that (this is gross) I was throwing up sooo hard that I actually broke blood vessels in my face.http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//yucky.gif I promised myself NEVER to get that drunk again, and I haven't! I like to have a good time like everyone else, but, I think everyone should know their limits, don't you? Makes the Party sooo much more fun!

Definitely. When some people go over their limits, the just turn into wicked assholes, then some just end up being a danger to themselves and go completely off the wall...then others just turn to zombies http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//00drunk.gif

Yes. I agree people should know their limits and if they don't, should just stay away from drinking altogether. Thank God, I quit drinking several years ago. I never realized what a blessing it is to wake up feeling good. Stupid college days!!!

Jaegermeister - is that some sort of schnappes? I remember sitting down to a poker game one night, plotting my betting strategy. Two sips of that stuff, well, the rest I only know about from hearsay second-hand accounts. I was actually pretty good compared to some other people, like the one who fell asleep in the bathtub. All I did was lean against a wall, in the same spot as a glass light fixture happened to be hanging. Past tense. Funny how you become immune to injury whilst totally gone.

Jagermeister is the world's worst alcohol. That stuff should just be banned. It's a sneaker. The first time I drank it, a friend and I sat and killed a bottle of it. We were sitting on a couch the whole time. When we were finsihed, I looked at my friend and said, "This stuff is crap! I don't even have a buzz". I stood up to go do someting and just went straight on over. I didn't even realize I was drunk until that moment. Ban it, I say! Jagermeister really is from the DEVIL!!!
