Unlike the typical hangover where you wake up sick and feeling like shit, the delayed hangover is a tricky little bitch.
This is the phenomenon that occurs when you have spent the evening drinking to excess. You go to bed drunk. You wake up feeling fine! You go about your normal routine- eating, drinking coffee and such. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, the hangover that you smugly thought you had escaped materializes. This is HOURS after you woke up. What. The. Hell.
Synonymn: Creeper Hangover.
Last night I got so drunk! I woke up feeling awesome so I decided to go see my parents, only to be ambushed with the dreaded delayed hangover. I spent alot of time in the bathroom and trying not to pass out. I played it off to my parents that I ate something bad.
