Phantom hangover

A hangover that is caused by the body being conditioned to consumption of alcohol, and triggered by memory/repetition.

If every Friday you get drunk, and have a hangover every Saturday as a result, your body becomes conditioned to feeling hungover upon waking up every Saturday.

If one friday you do not drink, but wake up feeling hungover anyway, due to your body just plain being used to the routine, you are the victim of a phantom hangover.

***Not an official medical condition, but it happens.

Hangover Purgatory

1. When one is too hung over to get out of bed in the morning, but also too hung over to fall back asleep.

2. The unbelievable dizziness and nausea experienced the morning following a night of heavy alcohol intake, which makes sleeping unattainable and waking up unbearable

hangover sex

The art of copulation while mutually suffering from an alcohol induced hangover. Hangover sex is often referred to as a heightened sensual experience at climax (or 'awesome sex'), most likely due to the temporary reprieve from the hell of the hangover, which gives the impression its so much better because of the immense shitehouse of a hangover you had previously.
Michele: Fancy some hangover sex?
Andrew: No thanks I'm not hungover and you stink of stale alcohol.
