Hangovers are life’s reminder that if you drink too much, you’ll suffer.

Pounding headaches, insatiable thirst, a spinning room, and nausea are all synonymous with the morning after a night of heavy drinking.

Aside from the physical pain and regret of one too many beers or Tequila shots come the emotional and psychological fallout of making poor decisions under the influence.

If you’ve ever woken the next morning, slightly delirious and fuzzyheaded asking yourself, “What exactly happened last night?”, you’re far from alone.

Here we’ll outline the different types of hangovers and the symptoms that accompany them.

Put down that Bloody Mary and let’s get into it!

What are the types of hangovers?

• Hunger Games. An insatiable hunger drives you to devour anything greasy or carb-loaded, with nausea sneaking in later.
• The Vampire Hangover. Light hurts, noise hurts, and all you want is to hide under the covers until the misery passes.
• Dehydration Doom. Your mouth feels parched, your head pounds, and fatigue takes over as dehydration sets in.
• The Final Stand. You vow to quit drinking forever—until the regret wears off and the cycle begins again.
• Wave of Regret. Slowly piecing together your questionable decisions leaves you with shame and a pounding headache.
• The Blackout. No memory of the night before, just random clues and a haunting sense of dread.
• RBF Hangover. Wake up angry at the world, snapping at everything and everyone, including yourself.
• The Never-Ending Hangover. A multi-day nightmare that lingers no matter how much water or sleep you get.
• The “I’m Still a Little Drunk” Hangover. Wake up feeling oddly happy, but the real hangover is just around the corner.
• The Perfect Hangover. A rare gem, leaving you slightly tired but in surprisingly good spirits with no regrets.
