"The Fear" is the sense that you have done yourself some lasting damage after a night of drinking. It's symptoms are:

- A feeling that you are going to die soon (and not just due to other hangover symptoms);
- A sense that people or organizations are out to get you;
- Angst that you may have offended, inappropriately touched or physically attacked someone the night before;
- Foreboding about the next time you meet the people or return to the bar where you degraded yourself the previous night.

The fear is often accompanied by "The Remorse" where you are also genuinely ashamed and sorry for the way you have behaved, as well as simply frightened for the sake of your own wellbeing.

That feeling that accompanies one when they wake up after a night of heaving drinking, or in the midst of a psychedelic voyage. The individual has an irrational fear of nothing in particular, and often feels worthless and lowly, as if everything they have done has been a lie, and they are a horrible person. The Fear can affect anyone.
John:

Dude Bill got so fucked up last night. He woke up this morning and was talking about how he never wanted to drink again, and that he was going to go to church to pray for redemption from all the bad things he as done, which is a lot.

Gail: Yeah man he's got the fear. He said that last weekend and and the one before that, and before that...

Fear is something that is always hidden, somewhere wherever you think it is. Fear can come in any ways, like anxiety, scared, or horrified. Fear can come occasionally, sometimes, or a specific amount of times, maybe even fear is something that you deeply hate. Fore example, you could hate being alone, or fear being alone. Nearly everybody fears to be alone, and some people are absolutely horrified by being all alone, that they have a phobia for it. What is a phobia? Well, a phobia is something that you fear, a phobia is a specific thing that you really hate. We call being scared of being alone, monophobia, and fearing spiders, is arachnophobia. The question is, why do people have fear in them? Well, you see, when you fear something, like being alone, your mind is focused on not being alone, but they fear something horrific would happen to you if nobody was there to save you, or even witness you. Being scared of the dark isn’t actually fearing the dark itself, but being afraid of what could be hidden in the dark, ready to pounce on you. Fear is something that always hides, but not from you, but waiting for you. Waiting to pounce on your heart.
Person 1: I am scared of the dark.
Person 2: Oh...
Person 2: Of the dark? Or what's in the dark?
Person 1: You fear the dark?

The feeling you experience when it's midnight, you're sitting by your pc masturbating over the sickest porn imaginable, your underwear and jeans are 20 feet away....and you hear your mum coming downstairs.
Peter felt extreme fear when he had to - in a sweating state - click the x button on the page of his necrophilia porn and stumble across the room to put his underwear and trousers on as he heard his mum coming downstairs.
