Definition
the uncomfortable feeling of sickness, headache, and tiredness that happens after drinking too much alcohol.
Etymology
Combination of 'hang' (to remain) and 'over' (continuing beyond), suggesting something that 'hangs over' you from the previous day. First used in English around 1904.
Kelly Says
A hangover is actually your body experiencing mild dehydration and chemical imbalance—the 'hair of the dog' myth (drinking more) makes it worse, not better, because it just delays the problem!
