We all know that every hangover is terrible. Every time I wake up the next morning dizzy, nauseous, and in physical pain I swear on my life that I will never drink again. It is usually a short lived declaration but I am in college so, for now, I have an excuse to keep torturing myself. I am sure most of us have heard all the secrets to killing a hangover or avoiding one in the first place which include greasy food, drinking 8 cups of water before going to bed, drinking a beer in the morning, etc. We also all know that when you get "that hangover" no cure in the whole world will make you feel better. "That hangover" is the one that leaves you helpless on the couch all day, running back and forth to the bathroom, unable to eat, unable to drink, unable to breath. "That hangover" is usually a result of the liquor, something everyone should just stay away from. Nobody has ever started a sentence with "I am so glad I had that shot." Even though the liquor hangover is one of the worst I would like to introduce a different hangover that some people may have been lucky to avoid, the wine hangover.
Oh the wine hangover! Only those who enjoy wine enough to allow yourself to get a hangover from it will understand what I am talking about but man oh man it is the worst. This hangover is the one that leaves you with a scratchy throat and an acidic stomach. This hangover leaves you grabbing your head for hours thinking that there is actually someone pulling it apart. This hangover hurts your entire body and almost always leaves you with a head cold. No coffee, water or greasy food makes you feel better. If you are ever cursed with the wine hangover I truly do feel for you.
This weekend I had the pleasure of a wonderful get together with my favorite friends, the phlock and the wine was really flowing! Waking up the next morning with the wine hangover made me immediately judge my life decisions and question where I was going. It also made me realize that drinking red wine till 4 am is never a good decision but oh man I do love my red wine.

The wine hangover is literally the worst. I don't get hungover often, but after drinking bottle after bottle of 2 buck chuck from Trader Joe's, I wake up feeling like I was the main event at a Monster Truck Rally as they drove over my head and then slapped me in the face multiple times.
