History Main / HangoverSensitivity

* ''Series/RogueHeroes''. David Stirling is bothered by the squeaky fans (which doesn't work well anyway), a barking drill sergeant and the other ranks constantly saluting him when he comes in to Layforce Headquarters after a bender at a brothel.

* In ''Fanfic/TheChangelingOfTheGuard'', it's a traditional practice for newly-minted guards to do the "High and Low", traversing the city's bars and carousing to absolute excess. Then, when they wake up, they're forced to attend their graduation ceremony... at first light of dawn, facing the rising sun. The lesson generally sticks.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': In "The Wedding Reception", Mittens wakes up with a killer hangover after a drinking bout, crawling under the covers to escape the light and noise. Inverted with Rhino, who is surprisingly immune to hangovers despite also imbibing, because of his fast metabolism.

** The third game's final DLC, "Citadel", ends with a party that leaves several characters hungover the next morning (depending on how much Shepard amps it up). Tali is curled up in a ball convinced she's going to die and in full WhatDidIDoLastNight mode. [[LastOfHisKind Javik]] thinks everything that's happened since he got out of stasis was a dream. Ash[[note]]if the Virmire Survivor[[/note]] is still vertical, but in need of coffee. Kaidan[[note]]if the Virmire Survivor[[/note]] has [[MustHaveCaffeine already had coffee]]. Joker has his head on the bar top and considers it a great accomplishment that he hasn't thrown up; he'd also like everyone to not talk so loud, or walk so loud... or close the cupboards so loud, "Just think quiet thoughts". Wrex can converse, but comments that once you reach over 700 you pay for a night like that the following morning, and will then only groan. Jack manages to avert this, citing her overclocked biotic amp making her effectively hangover-proof. Miranda is also perfectly fine, possibly for similar reasons. If the second phase of the party is Loud, then [[BoisterousBruiser Wrex]] cites this state as being the best time to train with guns when declaring a "man emergency" over Joker letting his small arms training get rusty, as it makes you "angry at every little sound".

* In an episode of ''Series/TheMuppets'', after a long night out with Miss Piggy and Creator/EdHelms, the Muppets come in to work the next day very late and very hungover. An angry Kermit retaliates by slamming a book on the table.

** Bugs Bunny is implied to be hung over at the start of "WesternAnimation/HareWayToTheStars", complaining "What a night! I'll never mix radish juice and carrot juice again." It would explain why he didn't notice his hole was longer than normal until the RetroRocket he'd accidentally climbed into was in Earth orbit.

** The Roman legionaries suffer from this, too. Which is a shame, for them, considering the loud yelling of their [[DrillSergeantNasty centurion...]]

--->'''Reid:''' (''cheering as loud as possible'') A couple of hours. ''A couple of hours!'' You guys didn't come home until sunrise!\\
(''cue DeathGlare from the girls'')\\
'''JJ:''' (''deadpan'') Why are you yelling?\\
'''Prentiss:''' (''deadpan'') Make him stop.\\

(''cue amused look from Morgan'')

-->I woke up with an achin' head,\\

as usual

* Referenced in ''{{VideoGame/Tropico}} 4''.
--> Sunny: Dear listeners, please join me in a moment of silence, as I have a terrible hangover after a girls' night out at the new Cocktail Bar. In related news, Penultimo has been hospitalised with a concussion, caused by blinking too loudly near me.

--> '''J.M''': Before you kill him, remember he's the only one who's willing to proofread your English papers.

* In episode 5 of ''Podcast/BlackJackJustice'', Jack manages to hear the elevator at the far end of the hall from his office as it opens.
-->'''Trixie:''' Elevator? Down the hall? You can hear that?\\
'''Jack:''' Today, I can.\\
'''Jack:''' (''voiceover'') There was no time to explain the extrasensory qualities of a truly eye-popping hangover.''

* Shows up all over on ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}''. Pam's often seen drinking a 40 after a night of partying, and Lana wears dark glasses into work after nights of heavy boozing. The only one who's not seen with hangovers is Archer... likely because he's perpetually drinking.
-->'''Archer:''' I'm afraid if I stop drinking all at once, the collective hangover would literally kill me.
** He did end up with a really bad one at the beginning of "Crossing Over", sitting naseous and exhausted on his balcony in bathrobe and sunglasses, which is even lampshaded by Woodhouse, who's surprised to see Archer hungover. Flashbacks reveal that it's after a night of heavy drinking even for him (one shot shows him chugging from a ''beer tap'') which got him drunk enough that he slept with [[spoiler: Pam!]]

** Bugs Bunny is implied to be hung over at the start of "WesternAnimation/{{Hare-Way To The Stars}}", complaining "What a night! I'll never mix radish juice and carrot juice again." It would explain why he didn't notice his hole was longer than normal until the RetroRocket he'd accidentally climbed into was in Earth orbit.

* In ''Series/TheNanny'' episode "Oy Vey, You're Gay", Maxwell is hung over after a night of partying. At breakfast, he winces from the sounds of his children, which sounded dubbed over with much louder similar versions: Brighton pouring milk on his Rice Krispies (which sounded like firecrackers,) Maggie buttering their toast (sounding like loudly ripping Velcro), and Gracie stirring her chocolate milk (a cowbell.) But [[PsychoStrings when he sees]] [[CuteButCacophonic Fran]], he lets out a BigNo.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2008-01-02 Squigley, after a New Year's party.]]

* In Creator/CharlieChaplin's ''Film/TheCure'', Charlie's an alcoholic drying out at a health spa. His substantial cache of liquor is dumped out -- right into the communal mineral water well. Everyone at the spa wakes up the next morning with a hangover, following the wild party.

** In the opening scene of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS22E9DonnieFatso Donnie Fatso]]", on New Year's Day Marge, despite not getting drunk, [[MakesSenseInContext she had kissed Homer while he was drunk]], ends up with a bad hangover and demands Bart, Lisa, and Maggie to be quiet while blowing their party horns and rattling their noisemakers.
