crapulence

Illness from excess

Crapulence is sickness or discomfort from excessive eating or drinking—the queasy, sluggish aftermath of overindulgence.

The word is literary and deliberately old-fashioned, often used with mock formality: After Thanksgiving dinner, a general crapulence settled over the household.

The adjective is crapulent or crapulous.
