The original word for "hungover" is "crapulous." →
caro: nickdouglas: It dates back to the 1530s. This should come in handy. Not joking: 1530s, “sick from too much drinking,” from L. crapula, from Gk. kraipale “hangover, drunken headache, nausea from debauching.” The Romans used it for drunkenness itself. English has used it in both senses. This is going into my vocabulary starting now.
