Bad food is ordered and I'm under a blanket on the sofa.
My DH is one of those absolute lunatics that thinks the best thing to get rid of a hangover is a cold swim or a long hike.
Then he's never had a proper demon hangover.
There are normal hangovers where you have a headache, feel slightly queasy, are tired, mouth like the bottom of a parrot's cave, squiffy shits. But with those you can manage to get through with lots of salty food, loads of water and some paracetamol. And by early afternoon you're back to normal apart from feeling a bit tired.
Then there are those verging on alcohol poisoning. You want to die (or at least stay asleep). At the very least you want to lie completely still. It takes everything in you not to puke whenever you move, and when you finally think the worst of the nausea has passed, an unexpected and sudden wave of nausea comes over you again and you're hurling down the toilet (if you can manage to get there in time). The room spins, your head is BANGING. You hobble to the toilet squinting and wincing and the world falls out of your bottom. (and has a weird hangover smell to it) You still feel rubbish in the early evening and feel all shaky.
Awful. I've had a couple of those bad ones and honestly I hadn't drunk too much with them. I think it was more mixing the drinks that did it, and perhaps drinking too quickly on an empty stomach. Completely accidental, so I felt very sorry for myself. One of the occasions was the day after my wedding party. I hadn't had anything to eat at all since about 12pm - that was only a maccies or something. So I had nothing from my own even wedding buffet (long story but involved overbearing parent instructing me to talk at length to latecoming guests rather than finish my food first as any sane person would. Buffet was all cleared away by the time I had gone back to sit down so I was drinking on a completely empty stomach, and well meaning guests just kept putting a drink in my hand....)
