Alcohol, hangovers, and delayed alcohol-induced headaches

The origin of the name "hangover" is not entirely clear. One explanation points to its connection with the term "catarrh," which colloquially refers to a complex of symptoms including headache, nausea, and a general feeling of illness. Another explanation is its association with the term "cat's lament," describing the miserable feeling after a binge. This reflects the painful, plaintive, nocturnal wailing of male cats in heat. In the student slang of Goethe's time, the term "vomiting lament" was used, aptly describing nausea, vomiting, a general feeling of illness, headache, and even regret and self-reproach for excessive alcohol consumption.
