A debate hangover occurs the day after a long debate tournament. Competitors and coaches spent most of Friday and all of Saturday competing or judging, so on Sunday, they are completely wiped out. Exhaustion, lack of voice, and sickness are common signs of a debate hangover. Gatorade (to help cleanse the system of caffeine, junk food, etc.) and rest are the most effective cures.
Steve: "Hey man, that was some debate tournament this weekend. I feel like crap now!"
Bob: "That means you have a Debate Hangover!"
