article on hangovers: A Few Too Many
Some words for hangover, like ours, refer prosaically to the cause: the Egyptians say they are “still drunk,” the Japanese “two days drunk,” the Chinese “drunk overnight.” The Swedes get “smacked from behind.” But it is in languages that describe the effects rather than the cause that we begin to see real poetic power. Salvadorans wake up “made of rubber,” the French with a “wooden mouth” or a “hair ache.” The Germans and the Dutch say they have a “tomcat,” presumably wailing. The Poles, reportedly, experience a “howling of kittens.” My favorites are the Danes, who get “carpenters in the forehead.”
hold music makes me want to rip my hair out.
Do you have a hair ache?
I will now! they've discontinued my favorite hair product, which is why they only shipped me one bottle. woe! now i guess i'll have to go on a hunting expedition to find all the remaining bottles in population.
Ugh. What

The Swedes get “smacked from behind.”
This doesn't make me go to a "hangover" place, especially if Swedes are involved.
My favorite phrase for a hangover was "a bear slept in my mouth last night, and he'd been drinking".
WTF? How does it skip a day like that?
It's not skipping a day. The procedure that results in storage takes 24-36 hours to come to a head, is all. Thems acids need time to do their work and stuff.
Ugh. What does one wear to a record release party at a club in Wicker Park?
Black. Lots of black. And be sure to slounge a lot because you're the queen at it and it will fit in perfectly.

Dude, are you a groupie now?
Advising women to withhold sex assumes that women don't like sex, or at least don't like it as much as men, but that's a faulty assumption.
I have a strong suspician that Jamie Oliver doesn't have a lot of experience with being turned down for sex, and is therefore working with a faulty and limited dataset.
