Three 50-word stories about euphemisms for “hangover.”

Bottle-weary	Crapulence	Overserved
The urban dictionary defines bottle-weary as “feeling hungover AF.” Presumably, the popularity of this euphemism stems from Colin’s use of it in season 3 of Bridgerton. In episode 4, the “Old Friends” episode, he says, “My head is bottle-weary. Forgive me for lashing out.” I might like this one best.	One of 10 “top-shelf drinking words,” according to a Merriam-Webster – Wordplay – Obscure & Fun article, it ranks along with: drinky, upsy freeze, drunkery, hair of the dog (that bit you), jimjams (a.k.a. “The DTs, or delirium tremens), three sheets to the wind, high jinks (also written as “hijinks”), and barleyhood.	This euphemism can be nicely incorporated into a sentence that uses the passive voice, a grammatical construct in English that conveniently obscures blame: “I was overserved last night.” No one has to know who was performing the action of serving, that you were actually a sot at your own hand.
