Without power leveling too much, anyone want to describe the worst hangover they've ever suffered from?

I very rarely drink, so I feel like shit the day after even if I have just a few beers. Worst I've ever had was Thanksgiving Day maybe a decade ago. Went bar hopping with my dad the night before and drank like a goddamn fish for about eight hours straight. Was beyond fucked up. I don't remember much of anything aside from puking outside the ninth or tenth bar of the night like Brian Griffin in that scene when he finds out he slept with Quagmire's dad. Also puked all over my dad's truck on the way home.

The day after was an unironic hell. Literally (literally) felt like dying. Experienced every symptom that comes along with a hangover only multiplied by like 10. Couldn't even keep down fluids. Eating was out of the question, obviously. In hindsight, I likely was suffering from alcohol poisoning but was too stubborn to go to the ER. Missed Thanksgiving completely. The headache was likely compounded by the fact that I had no nicotine in my system because getting a whiff of the dip when I tried to pack a lip made me hurl. Day 2 was still really bad. Didn't feel I was recovered until like a week afterwards.

Yeah been there before, Hangovers where it was probably alcohol poisoning and I should have at least been looked at, but decided I would "tough it out". The worst is when you get the physical symptoms from said hangover compounded by anxiety produced again from said hangover.
 
I was partially responsible organizing a party sponsored by Redbull. I had no idea one of the stipulations of the sponsorship was the open bars were only going to serve Redbull+liquor or cans of Redbull. After an ingesting an incalculable quantity of Redbull combined with a reasonable amount of alcohol at the party, the next morning consisted of me falling out of the top bunk, crawling to the couch, and not moving until after dark.

A D&D session was ruined by the presence of a handle of Fireball, which we killed in a matter of hours.

Now, it's beers only at D&D night.
Yeah good idea and you gotta make sure those beers aren't bottom shelf either, bottom shelf shit will give you a terrible fucking hangover. I used to be able to drink any type of garbage in my early 20's now that i'm older some shit is a no go for me because the next day will be hell.

Pray the boys never bring Olde English. Shit keeps me on the john for awhile while I have to rub my temples from the banging headache
 
I had just one. I remember I was drinking red wine and slivovitz . Without PL too much I was young . Never really drank any alcohol before and it was celebration so others encouraged me to drink more than I would otherwise.
Next morning when I woke up I slept only hour and half.
Not really enough to rest, but enough to feel even worse than not sleeping at all.
And after that I had to do hard manual labor for most of the day, becauce person who was supposed to that work instead of me. Conviniently refused to show up.
That day was so bad I refuse to touch alcohol since that day.

I don't know what actually counts as a hangover. The worst that's ever happened to me is I wake up really thirsty, and then feel better after drinking water.
 
I won't even go into the details of my worst hangover (alcohol poisoning, really), suffice it to say that I was sick for three days and couldn't drink rum for ten years.
Steel Reserve, Icehouse edge and Natty Daddy. Drank that shit during some tough times and felt the pounding headache and shakiness of a regretful hangover the next day.

Yeah, but if someone's drinking fireball a lot of that is probably sugar too. AFAIK sugar interferes with alcohol metabolism since it occupies the liver enzyme responsible for processing ethanol and its byproducts, if a person has a problem with hangovers (as in they have a weak liver from either age or poor health) they don't want to be drinking sweet shit.

That's why sugary boxed wines or notorious for giving unsuspecting white girls horrible hangovers.
 
Had a couple of doozies in my time. Splitting headaches, vomiting, body chills, the whole nine yards. I still can't drink brandy because of how sick one session made me way back in college.

My favorite bit of folk wisdom about hangovers:

"The second-worst thing about a hangover is that when it hits, you think you're going to die.
"The worst thing about it is ten minutes later, when you realize you're going to live."

Fireball is pretty bad too It's just not bottom shelf. So I'm not surprised by this at all.

I've also noticed all cheap alcohol has some sort of sickly sweet taste to it. Even bottom shelf beer almost always has a really gross sweet taste
 
My brother and I went through two bottles of tequila and some beer in a night. I never even got to sleep because I'd forgotten my GF was making me go to a chili cookoff. Going from drunk to hungover without sleeping already sucks shit and that was the cherry on the shit sundae. And yes I had to try 20 chilis.
