hangovers
Post-binge suffering
Hangovers are the unpleasant physical effects that follow a bout of heavy drinking—headache, nausea, fatigue, and general misery.
The word also applies to anything that lingers unpleasantly from a previous time or situation: outdated policies that are hangovers from the colonial era.
A hangover suggests something you're stuck dealing with because of earlier excess or poor judgment.
