tattoo hangover

n. the physical and psychological discomfort that arrises from the crushing realization that the body art that seemed so perfect at two in the morning after an unknown number of cocktails is hugely embarrassing in the sober light of day.
"Last night Ricky J. was showing off his multi-colored 'Ricky Is A Momma's Boy' tat to everyone he met, but this morning he has a tattoo hangover at the thought of having to live with it the rest of his life."

Placebo Hangover

A phenomenon that can only be put down to self trickery.
When you go out one night and decide not to drink, everyone else around you is drinking or already drunk to the point of obliteration. You go about your night sobre, maybe get caught up in the present drunken vibe, retire late / early morning - with everybody else.
You wake up at an un-godly hour of the day due to the late night - BUT, you feel shittier than times when you've been unrealistically drunk.

It is clear that the brain is either so used to dealing with excessive alcohol - blood ratio on a saturday night, it brings you down the next day regardless, OR you are such a lightweight, that just being around alcohol is enough to bring on a hangover.

Personal experience shows the latter observation to be false.

raver's hangover

A state of exhaustion the morning after a night out dancing like crazy. Unlike a regular hangover, this is not necessarily brought on by any alcoholic beverage, but by sheer physical exertion.
A typical sufferer will sleep until late in the afternoon, be fairly sore, especially in the feet, and be ravenously hungry upon waking.
Oh, I'm fine, I was just sleeping off my raver's hangover. Let's go get pancakes!
