    worst hangover

    This is a spin-off from the neverending Hey, I'm Drunk! thread.
    Chet writes:
    I guess its appropraite that as I see this thread, I have the worst hangover of my adult life. Prudence's fiance had her 30th birthday bash at Milwaukee's Germanfest
    3 1/2 hours of free Pilsner Urquil preceded by cocktails and followed by closing down the bars has taken its toll.
    I woke up wondering why my hand was swollen and hurting. Then I remembered trying to punch out the window of the SUV at a stop light, because it almost hit me when it pulled out of a parking garage. (The driver ran the red light to get away before I was successful)
    I can still paint the town red. It just takes longer to apply a second coat.


    What/when/where/why was your worst hangover? It's kinda hard to pick the WORST since none of them do anything but promote excessive sleep and overeating the next day (I'm always in search of the ultimate hangover meal).

    My worse was probably from drinking Canadian Mist and 7's before a Rush concert. I spent all night puking in the ladies' room; barely remember the concert. Then I heaved in the cab on the way home. This was early in my drinking career.
    Another was caused by too many Kamikazes. I passed out on the floor under the attic fan because it was the only place that didn't spin around. :-S

    Iced Teas (In Jersey we don't bother acknowledging the Long Island part) in substantial quantity. We're driving home down a twisty, hilly road and I blew chow all over the passenger side of my friend's F150. He relates that the police pulled us over and the cop asked if he was a drunk as I was (I have no memory of this whatever). When he said "no" the cop let him go. I woke up at like 3:00 the next afternoon and I wanted to be dead. It would have to be better than how I felt. I believe the hangover lasted a full 24 hours after I woke up.

    Ever the wiser, I have never touched another Iced Tea o

    No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.

    21st bday...

    I worked at an Irish pub near the MCI Center in DC when I turned 21, so I wanted to go there to have my first legal pint (of guinness, of course). So while I'm legally drinking my pint, a DC fireman heard it was my birthday and bought me a double shot of Jameson...14 shots and 7 beers later, I was falling asleep on a sidewalk and later on didn't even know I was in my own car (obviously, I wasn't driving)! I ended up getting sick at some point in the night, but I didn't make it to any classes the next day (which I had planned on skipping anyway). Needless to say, I don't really do shots any more.

    I was in college and I was just a pup at 17 years old. We had a progressive party in our dorm. It started with fuzzy navels, then went on to tequila poppers, then screwdrivers and then I don't know what else... as by that time I was sick to my stomach and puking. All I remember is running to the girl's bathroom and all of the girls saying 'do it in the boys bathroom'. The guys were always using the girls bathroom when they were sick, so my puking all over one of the shower stalls was retribution. That party got way out of hand, some other people also broke some bottles in the shower stall and the dorm was generally trashed.

    The next day, I couldn't even move without dry heaving. It's the worst I ever felt. I don't have much tolerance for alcohol these days because of it. I get fairly tipsy after just two beers or glasses of wine.

    The Razorbacks won the NCAA BBall Championship in '94... I was there.

    The night went like this:

    - Many beers in the parking lot while writing "Duke Sucks" in white shoe polish on the windows of cars with North Carolina plates.

    - Champagne. Still in the stadium parking lot, with rich Arkansas alums.

    - Tequilla. At an open bar after sneaking into the Govenors after game party. I had to have lots of Tequilla because watching Arkies dance to the music of the Four Tops is not easy sober.

    - Whiskey. Up in the players rooms where the REAL parties were going on... yet, no one had tequilla.

    - Wine. What a way to top off a drinking binge! At that point, I believe I'd have drank anything offered.

    Well, let's just say I hurt so bad the next morning I barely made it to a safe place to puke. Eat? Sure... I tried a scrambled egg... bad idea. Then to top it off, we had a 9 hour drive back to Arkansas through the winding roads of the Smokey Mts...

    My worst hangover was the day of my college graduation in 1987. The previous night involved getting kicked out of three bars, a couple of fights, stealing bikes and zooming them down hilly streets with no hands.

    I got home about 5am and the graduation was at 11am. My parents drove into town that morning and promptly woke me up. I don't know how I made it through the day.

    Amazingly, my parents had no idea of how hung over (or still drunk?) I was until I told them about two years ago.

    Without delving into too much unsavory detail, I will simply say that I awoke one morning in a seated position with my chin supported on the edge of the toilet bowl...and things went downhill from there.
    People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

    You know its going to be a bad one when you find yourself drinking Southern Comfort straight from the bottle as if it were a miller light. Needless to say, it was so merciless that I have yet to EVER do a shot of Southern again.

    The EX WIFE was really angry and did not seem to appreciate my forethought while being so wasted. I slept on the kitchen counter top with my head hanging over the sink so I could use running water and the garbage disposal to clean while heaving.

    I thought it was a good idea.......but then again, maybe she wasn't so angry at heaving as she was on the boozing!

    I have 3 that are a pretty close tie for worst ever. The embarrassing thing is that each of these has occurred after I turned 30. These are all incidents that have made me call in sick on Mondays.

    No details as they are all kind of embarassing and really gross. I will say one thing though, it is mandatory for anyplace I live to be able to sit on the toilet and puke in the tub or a sink at the same time.
    Too lazy to beat myself up for being to lazy to beat myself up for being too lazy to... well you get the point....

    Worst hangover ever? That would be the night in college, 2nd year, that some friends and I decided to celebrate...something. We started in the evening with a nice pizza and Rum and Cokes, along with a bottle of Champagne (never give lots of cash to an older student, send him to the liquor store, and say, "Just get whateve is on sale"). Strolled around campus for a while, invited a few people back to the house, then continued with more rum and coke, kool-aid and vodka, and Heinken. Found out that drinking, then stopping, will give one the impression that one is sober. However, if one sends a few more drinks down on top of the first few, it wakes the first ones up and they all start a little party of their own. The last thing I remember is waving a bottle of beer at one of the RA's--on a non-drinking college, where I held 3 student offices--and passing out in a friend's house. Woke up in my own house at 5 pm the next day and have not had a rum and coke or kool-aid and vodka, or really more than about 3 drinks in one go, since.
    I don't dream. I plan.

    Dude, I did the same thing, except I managed to pop my knee out of its socket when I fell off the porch. Got home around 7am and did the one thing you can only do to cure the demon. Start drinking. Boy, May was a great month this year.

    What's bad is getting sick in your snobby older cousin's apartment during a restaurant employees' party.

    That was the same night my boss told me he would get someone to take me home. He turned to the Iranian cook, who smiled at him, and toppled over

    Senior year in college, my best friend and I left a great party and headed to my apartment where she'd left her car. We both decided we were about to be sick but I beat her to the front door and locked it and promptly got sick in the bathroom. She was left with the shrubs outside the door and somehow managed to drive home. I woke up the next morning on the bathroom floor. The agony!

    September 9, 1986. A good friend learned that her cancer came out of remission. We each had a couple beers, then pillaged a bottle of wine from a neighbor's room. By the time that was gone, a couple other friends left a bottle of vodka and orange juice in my fridge for safekeeping. My friends were not too bright. We finished that too. I don't really have any clear memories of that night. The next morning I thought I was dying.

    The worst part of it was that I had been trying to date a girl for weeks, and she had finally agreed to go into the city with me that day. I paced for hours to walk it off. I could not drink orange juice for a month, and have not touched vodka since.

    Worst hangover of my life, was my 21st birthday. Dear old Dad decided to give me 21 cases of Schlitz beer (hey remember that?) Along with the beer, being struck with a can of beer in the chin, having the bikers crash the party, knife fight on the porch, police called, and a tub of potato salad dumped in my car on top of my friend who passed out in my car, hmmmm. And the White castle binge too. Yum. Guess that hangover was probably the worst.
    Was a fun party though.

    I think I am "hangover immune." Ive been pretty dang drunk before to where I can't stand, stay awake, or remember all the details of the evening (or morning ) but I have never puked from drinking and Ive never had anything but a neck ache the next morning (i have a bad neck, messed it up one time).

    There are somethings that I cant drink anymore though, just cause I had it too much too often. When this new liquor "Ciclon" came out (90% bacardi rum, 10% tequila, and a hint of lime) I bought a few bottles and it was the only thing I drank. That and certain beers. Ive had my life's share of Shiner Bock and Ziegenbock...and Im not even 22 yet lol.

    This morning? Maybe tomorrow morning? Cures: soda crackers & 7-Up. Works like a charm.

    Is it kudos to our planning professionalism that nobody has related their worst hangover to a lae-fest gathering??
