hangover headache
Excess drinking's aftermath
A hangover headache is the throbbing head pain that follows heavy drinking, typically felt the morning after.
It results from dehydration, inflammation, and alcohol's toxic byproducts.
The term sometimes extends to any lingering discomfort from past excess: I'm still nursing a hangover headache from that disastrous meeting.
