For me, any day I have to go to work with a hangover are the worst days of my life. What sort of painful things have you had to endure while suffering?

I hate hangovers on work days. I just can't handle it.
The worst was when I fell asleep at work with my head on my desk. In my sleep I heard a ringing and thought its my alarm clock, then I thought "my alarm clock doesn't sound like that...it must be my phone...but my phone doesn't sound like that either"
As I opened my eyes all I could see was my work phone, flashing at me. I had to regain composure pretty promptly and answer the phone as professionally as I could muster at the same time looking around to see if I'd been spotted asleep by any of my colleagues...oops!
Fortunately it was the work friend that I'd been out with the night before who sympathised completely. I felt pretty sorry for myself that day!

My first real hangover. I was young (15) my parents spent the night somewhere, several years before, my dad quit drinking, and my mom never started. A nice Wild Turkey decanter was a leftover from dads drinking days, this was filled with aged 20 years premium Wild Turkey and was never opened for about 12 years. One day mom was dusting and she broke the seal around this turkey's neck. While my parents were out I invited Friends over and mixed this bourbon with wild cherry cola. Was woke early the next morning by my parents screaming at me, very unpleasant, I stumbled into work late that morning, I worked at a diner and the first thing I had to do was cook runny, slimy, eggs on a grill. With the worst headache I've ever had, at the sight of those eggs bubbling on the grill I lost it! But I made it thru those teenage years, That wasn't my only experience with too much drink, but you never forget your first one.

I had tickets to the Daytona 500 and a few days before I was bitten by a racoon (in my own kitchen no less) so the dang health dept made me take rabies shots. I got a shot the morning before we left for Daytona and it made me feel like pure s*it but we pressed on and drove to the campground that night where we all drank and drank and drank while eating grilled sausages and chips. Next morning I had the worst hangover in the history of mankind -- puked my body weight in fluids while crawling along in traffic for three hours toward the speedway. Lost my shoes the day before and had to wear two gallon sized ziplock bags on my feet. Our seats were about a mile high and I got sick again and thought I was going to fall fifty stories down the steps so I went back to the truck and passed out for about four hours. I really, really thought I might die from that hangover, but I couldn't be that lucky. (see my 360 blog page for the whole sad, sad story of my trip to Daytona)

I was 16 years old and my car was in thee body shop, I was driving a loaner and my neighbor and I split a 5th of Jim Beam bourbon in less than 3-hours. I don't remember getting home I just remember waking up in my bed with a band aid on my forearm and a headache. I went downstairs and there were my parents, my dad looked at me and said get dressed there is something you have to see. He took me to a salvage yard and there was the loaner car I had been driving, it was totaled out. I had hit a parked car head on at 70 miles an hour in a residential neighborhood totaled out that car also.
The police sent me to the hospital rather that arrest me. Very lucky for me that I was friend with the entire police force in the town where I grew up. The worst thing was that my parents were having a huge party that night and I had promised to bar-tend. When the guest started to arrive my mom came upstairs to get me I was actually not feeling that bad by then. Well the first drink that was ordered was a bourbon and coke, when I cracked the seal on the bottle of Jim Beam and smelled it I lost it. Was so sick for three days that I could not get out of bed. Then I found out that the man at the body shop had lost his job because he failed to get me to sign a waiver since I was under 18 and the same insurance company insured both cars that I had totaled out.
To this day I can not drink bourbon.

After my first child was born, actually two years after, I went out with friends after a pretty intense volleyball game. The bar we went to had $1 bottles of beer, all nite. So, we literally stayed just about all nite, 3:30 or so and about 12 bottles. I didn't have to work the next day so I was going to stay home with my 2 year old. My wife went to work at 7:30 or so, and had my daughter wake me up by jumping on me. Other than the stomach clenching gagging, I thought my eyeballs were going to pop out of my head from the pain I felt in my head.
It was one of those hangovers that occur once or twice a year . . . pain so intense, exhaustion, nausea. And of course, my 2 year old just wanted to play all day. That was the day when I introduced her to the Lion King (THANK YOU DISNEY!).
Needless to say, I have NEVER gone out drinking again if I know that I'll be playing with the kids the next day, as when I'm home they expect lots of physical activity.
Man, my eyes get red just thinking about that day . . . my stomach churns. Wow. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
