hangover
Binge's delayed bill
A hangover is the unpleasant physical state following heavy drinking—headache, nausea, fatigue, dehydration.
I woke up with a terrible hangover.
By extension, a hangover is anything left over from a previous period: These regulations are a hangover from the Cold War.
The adjective hungover describes someone experiencing one: She was too hungover to function.
