So a character has had a long night. Maybe he was playing a [[Drinking Game|certain kind of game]], or maybe he just [[Can't Hold His Liquor]] at the bar. But whatever the reason, he was blind drunk the night before, meaning that the next morning is one of the worst days of his life.

 

See [[Hideous Hangover Cure]] and [[Must Have Caffeine]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', after getting really drunk, a hungover England covers his head with a blanket and weakly groans "Why won't the lights just shut up? I swear, I'm never going to drink again. Someone, please kill me."

'''Mike:''' Hey guys. I can't stop barfing.

'''Tina:''' Please don't say barf.

'''Tina:''' Can we talk about anything else? }}

* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Robin finds out that Ted's college class, and Ted himself, have been playing a [[Drinking Game]] based on her morning news show. She gets revenge by deliberately repeating the trigger phrase over and over, and then dropping in on the miserable class the next day with a megaphone.

* Sharona experienced this on an episode of ''[[Monk]]''. It was Spring Break in Mexico, 'nuff said.

* In an episode of ''Cybil'', Cybil's friend Maryann attempts to get information out of a man by trying to outdrink him. (Maryann was a [[Lady Drunk]], but the man was twice her size. She won.) The next morning, she screams in pain when Cybil unzips her purse, and when Cybil and Zoe are arguing very loudly, they could occasionally cut back to Maryann holding her head in pain and shouting things like "Searing pain! Nerve Damage!" "Temporary Blindness!" and "The Taste of Burnt Pennies!"

* The infamous Globelink Christmas Party in ''Drop the Dead Donkey'' was like this for George, Henry and Dave. It was worsened by the antics of a totally sober and vindictive Damien Day (who came armed with bacon sandwiches and bellowed greetings).

* In ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'', everyone gets wasted on Tom's new concoction "Snake Juice" at the club, and are all horrifically hungover at work the next day.

*** And threaten to [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|make Joker sing over the intercom]], no less.

* Conker has some equilibrium, energy, and sound sensitivity issues when hung over in ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day]].''

 

== Western Animation ==

* In the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "Crack That Whip", Dr. Doofenshmirtz suffers from extreme sensitivity to noise, including his own [[Evil Laugh|evil laughter]], when he has "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|a headache]]" after staying out late [[Card-Carrying Villain|at an evil mixer]].

* ''[[The Road to El Dorado]]''. Tulio and Miguel wake up after a night of partying with killer hangovers, complete with sensitivity to light.

* In one episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', Bart's teacher Ms. Krabappel tells her class "Okay class, today we'll be sitting quietly with the lights off because teacher has a hangover."
