shopping hangover

When you wake up and are hit with the remembrance of last night's out of control shopping escapade.

There are a few infomercials on during the day but at night they are featured on nearly every channel. Big Business knows that as consumers, our guard is down at night, so they capitalize by only feeding us shopping options.

"Shopping hangover" applies to infomercials as well as online shopping - since after around 11 p.m. people start to feel the need to buy everything they've ever thought about...and some things they haven't.
"Dude - when I checked my e-mail this morning and had 17 congratulatory messages from eBay, I was hit with the biggest shopping hangover! What did I DO last night?"

beach hangover

Referring to the way one shuffles into work/class the day after having spent a full day at the beach, moving a little more slowly than usual because of the excessive use of back and shoulder muscles for water and/or beach sports, the inability to sit or lay comfortably due to the sunburn ranging from irritating to ragingly painful that dictates every move and raises the unnecessary question from everybody of "Did you go to the beach?", and crunchy remnants of sand in the hair, ears, eyes, mouth, or other susceptible body parts even after showering.

Note: A beach hangover can take anywhere from hours to days before achieving a full recovery and may just require a few showers and water, or copious amounts of Aloe Vera and electrolytes.
I spent my entire Labor Day at the beach surfing and chilling with friends, but ended up going to work with a beach hangover the next day.

My cousin was visiting Florida from Minnesota for a week and had a beach hangover her entire stay after spending the first day on the beach.

Hangover Chic

The yuppie fashion of going out to breakfast after night of heavy drinking by intentionally putting on their cutest sweatpants, flip flops, uggz, north face vests, over-sized sun glasses, and any other frumpy-yet-fashionable attire so that everyone at the restaurant knows they went out the previous night and that makes it totally alright to be an asshole to the wait staff and other patrons
when a group of JAP's sat next to me decked out in hangover chic and ordered mimosa's, I knew complaining and whining were going to be part of my breakfast

reverse hangover

Had a big night on the raspberry cordials. To your dismay you wake up the next morning feeling pretty good but for every hour your awake you feel considerably worse, until you eventually feel as hungover as you should if not worse.
Mate: I woke up this morning feeling fine considering how drunk I was last night, but I went to get some food and it just hit me like a bus.
Me: Haha, you did grab the bouncer on the butt on the way out of the club!
Mate : I think I've got a reverse hangover.
