Hangover Origin

[Davypops]

Is it do do with being drunk

[dustypuss]

Yes yes . It can also make you stutter.

[gingejbee]

It's to do with having (too much) ethanol in your body...you don't have to be "drunk" in the normal sense of the word.

[andy-hughes]

No.

I am teetotal, and I would be ruined after two pints.

That would not be enough to give me a hangover though.

The length and severity of hangovers depends on regularity of drinking, amount, food consumed, sleep, physiology, and various other factors.

[THECORBYLOON]

I think it might be a question about the origin of the word, not the cause of it.

Might be wrong, mind.

[ToraToraTora]

the main cause is dehydration.

[andy-hughes]

As I have advised previously - the alcohol erodes the balance mechanisms in your ears, but it's ok, because just as you open your eyes the next morning, a team of little men with drills, hammers and chisels, start to work repairing them for you.

[DTCwordfan]

No - it's me leaving clothes on her hangers at her place.....

[david small]

My Brother in Law had a terrible hangover after drinking five bottles of alcohol free lager. You can’t win.

[DTCwordfan]

The sulphur in it no doubt, esp. if it was a Beck's.

the word's only had its main meaning since 1904, apparently
