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.
Seeing other folks afflicted with an "upstairs vs. downstairs hangover" should be ample motivation to not start drinking yourself!

"Upstairs Downstairs Derek" is an age-old enigma, an elusive phrase passed through generations, its meaning stubbornly out of reach. Is it a historical reference, a forgotten tale, or a nonsensical quirk? Scholars and linguists have tried decoding it, yet the phrase resists interpretation, tantalizing and frustrating in equal measure. Its mystery is compelling, a reminder that some things remain unknown, testaments to language's power and humanity's fascination with the unexplained.
