We've seen him hungover at least once (Provenance, I believe), and possibly twice, depending on how you read the opening scene with Sam and Dean in Jump the Shark.
Hmm. Neither of these stuck with me. Just another reason for rewatch.
I guess I just don't see being stoned as something nostalgia-worthy for Dean. But maybe it's because it's something he can't do now.
I just checked the Provenance transcript, and it does have Sam startling Dean awake in the car (while he's wearing shades, IIRC), but no overt reference to a hangover.

It's acted very much like a morning after a bender.

Yes, this.
ETA: He probably normally drank in less quantities in the Provenance days. I am fairly sure he was meant to be hungover in that scene.

Some of these were a leeeetle tough, but I am suddenly leaning more toward the emotional, painful lines.
His hangover is very different from Sam's though. He just startles awake and reprimands Sam (eta: Sam plays just as startled when he wakes up with the spoon in his mouth). I don't remember what episode it was, but didn't we see Sam puking? He doesn't seem to be impaired or in any pain at all. As hangovers go, it's very much a non-event.
If that's all he gets, then it still flies in the face of the I'm-so-fscked-up-still I see in fic. For some reason, I just don't get that vibe off him.

Sammy, what am I supposed to do?
If there's just one part worth saving--metaphor for Dean in that scene and at that point. But it became clearer through the seasons that the car was rich in metaphor, and was physically important in its own right, as wel.
