Oh my. There were two times i sort of remember (try to forget lol). One when i was a teenager and drinking Old Spill (Old Milwaukee) and second was drinking vodka (last time too btw lol). I will never look at chicken and corn chowder soup the same ever again lol.

worst hangover was in the 90's, tequila, dont remember the brand.....it came in a plastic half gallon jug....never drink tequila that comes in plastic......no matter how cheap it is........i was hungover for 3 days. felt like crap....never again, from then on it was all name brand stuff.....it was an even worse hangover than MD2020 or Boones farm as a teenager.

Worst hangover? That's kind of a head scratcher because I never really thought to compare or rank them. It seems like the last one is always the worst one but that's not necessarily the case.

I guess maybe the one that stands out the most was when I was first stationed in Arizona and went to the enlisted club with a friend and we built shot glass towers. The problem was that the staff kept "stealing" our towers so we had to keep ordering whisky shots to rebuild them. I don't remember all that happened that night, but I do remember leaving the bar. I walked outside and the air was pleasantly warm. I specifically remember wondering how far it was to the barracks and I counted how many steps it took; which was three. Not that the barracks were actually that close, they were actually about a mile away, but I was only consciously aware of taking three steps.

When I woke up the next day every part of my body was miserable, in pain or both. I stumbled out into the hall like a zombie where I met my friend who was also shuffling like the undead. We didn't say anything but still understood each other and we walked across the street to where there was a sort of strip mall with a gas station, convenience store, barber, pizzeria, ect. We bought some Gatorade, aspirin and a loaf of bread. There were two young ladies hanging out and they were looking at us and smiling. I said "hello" and they started giggling. My friend asked "have we met?" and they said we were all hanging out together the night before. I immediately apologized and they burst out laughing.

My buddy and I went back to the barracks, took our aspirin, drank our Gatorade and nibbled bread. We also agreed that we were done drinking for at least 24 hours.

My first and last worst hangover happened while I was away at school. I was rather shy and was happy to included when a bunch of other girls invited me to hang out.

They headed straight for a liquor store and stocked up on Boone's and other cheap wines. We took turns swigging from the bottle, passed it around until empty, then starting on another. I vaguely remember us walking downtown, staggering drunk and laughing at everything.

One girl decided that she had to urinate, so she just walked over to a hedge, started to squat, and fell into it. By the time we reached the dorms, I was as sick as a dog, and learned what 'kneeling before the throne' meant, lol. I had never before drank so much alcohol at once, and never have again!

Years ago I was very poor and living in a country town. My friend won a live turkey at the local fair and gave it to me. We were all broke but decided to throw a party, cheap cask wine only and I cooked the turkey hangi style in the ground, it was 15lb dressed so everyone got a good feed and it tasted beautiful. After dinner we drank the filthy wine until 3am then came back in to finish the turkey, left on the counter on a hot Summer night . That's the last I remember, waking at 11am to everyone vomiting and feeling like dying. Everyone blamed me for the turkey but I'm sure it was the drink, we all were sick for days, .

Worst Hangover. Hands down, after drinking cheap, Albertsons Vodka. Don’t remember what I was mixin, maybe screwdrivers? Anyway, had to work a gig the following morning.
O…M….G! Head…..Pounding. It took 4 ibuprofens, and some BC power just to tame the pain down. Headache finally stopped about 12 hrs later when I was done. Took me 2 days to fully recover.
Never made that mistake again!

All I remember was I went to a party with a bunch of friends who later dropped me off at home. I recall crawling (yes on my hands and knees) up the steps and into the kitchen where I spent the next several hours sleeping...on the floor. Once I finally actually made it to bed, I stayed there pretty much the next 24 hours drinking sips of ginger ale and nibbles of bread. I actually don't remember the party itself! You can file this under "why I don't drink".

I didn't know about this, but was well ahead and did it anyway. I was walking blearily through a supermarket this evening (still hungover) when a teenage boy started yelling excitedly about seeing 'Jesus' . (I have a beard right now)
'Oh God...' I thought, but as I was walking away had a flashback to last night and a young woman I was talking to filming me and the words 'Tik-Tok', 'Jesus in Converse' and 'Viral'.
A truly classic hangover should have some 'MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE???' to it.
