Get the colonizer's hangover mug.Refers to da ratio of how much your "upstairs" hangovers (i.e., "morning after" headaches, nausea, etc.) affect da flabby "hangover" --- i.e., floppily-drooping beer gut --- dat gradually develops "downstairs". Generally speaking it'll be about equal; in other words, da more alcohol you guzzle, da more of an "overhang" you'll get at your waistline.
