The term hangover was originally a 19th century expression describing unfinished business – something left over from a meeting – or ‘survival.’ In 1904, the meaning "after-effect of drinking too much" first surfaced

Because the alcohol "hangs over" until the next day giving you the unpleasant sobering effect of this wonderful past time

Probably because you have left over feelings from the night before - feeling drunk still...Or could be because you are hung over the toilet puking
