Prior to age 27/28 or so, hangover effects were:
1. Nausea, sometimes vomitting
2. Headache
3. Furry tongue/dry mouth
A nice fry-up, some Lucozade and several cups of tea and I was ready for another session.
Post 27/28, hangover effects have been:
1. Nausea, sometimes vomitting
2. Headache
3. Furry tongue/dry mouth
4. "The shakes"
5. "The fear" - sometimes crippling anxiety and depression. Often enough to confine me to my bed, or at least to the house.
6. Hallucinations and a horrible sense of general "unreality"
7. Ataxia - I just walk into things with no apparent ability to navigate my way through the world
8. Totally fried short-term memory
9. Some sort of personality disorder in which I turn into some awful parody of the bitter 70s TV drunk - foul-mouthed, abusive, acidic and just thoroughly unpleasant.
Getting drunk in general has become a whole lot less pleasant since just before my 30s...
