I'm Irish, can not you tell?
From this barstool I just fell.
Having a good time,
Boosted up on cheap wine.
In the morning I will feel like hell.
--- Squat

In my head I have a pain,
From drinking too much booze again.
As for last night,
Did I score, did I fight?
Memories get lost in my brain.
--- Anon

Man, you should have seen him, a fright!
He was a terrible sight!
Eyes were all red,
Had a boob on his head,
And he danced with Jim Beam all night!
--- Les Stewart T9712

If you feel that you're fight on your beam-ends,
And your gait is more rolling that seamen's,
And if camels in helmets
March over the pelmets,
You've a touch of delerium tremens.

Los Libres de Cuba son bueno,
But when after ten glasses I drain-o,
Little willy won't rise
To magnificant size,
And come morning, my head is in pain-o.
--- Hugh Clary

Girls night out is the time of the year
When something like heaven is near!
But I never drink more
Of Guinness than four;
It's the hangover that I do fear.
--- Anon

I spent the night face down in clover
And now I am so damn hung over,
When I move my head
I pray to be dead.
I need me some hair of the Rover.
--- H Welchel

I'm reading this story agog,
Just after a night on the 'grog'.
My poor katzenjammer
Can pound like a hammer,
So bring me 'the hair of the dog'.
--- Anon

I felt fine as I went to my bed,
With party scenes fresh in my head.
But during the night,
My brain swelled too tight.
Right now I just wish I was dead.
--- Frank Fazed T9712

Brown liquid I poured in my head,
Hoping to rise from the dead.
It raced through my gut
And spizzed from my butt.
Soon I had got out the lead.
--- H Welchel

I poured me a second cup, too.
(Maybe some more would pass through.)
A ten-minute fart
And boy, did it smart;
Made music like motorboats do.
--- H Welchel

To rid your bod of that stuffin',
With all the huggin' and puffin',
This old recipe
Will work, believe me --
Two cups of joe, one bran muffin.
--- Frank Fazed

I'll never get drunk again,
For my head's full of pain,
And it grieves me to think
That because of strong drink
I should lie with my Phillis in vain.

When I woke up, my skin was SALLOW;
Face puffy as a marshmallow.
Was it last night's date
Or something I ate.
Or maybe that jug of Gallo
--- Norm

After partaking deep of the Flagon,
I decided to go on the wagon.
When I peeked down the stool,
Which I don't as a rule,
Staring back was a Komodo Dragon.

Your hangover cure is here, buddy,
It's Mary, a young girl, quite ruddy;
I screwed her last night,
Her first time -- so tight!
This morning dear Mary is bloody!
--- Anon

I haven't a clue where I've been.
There were recriminations and spleen.
I feel kind of crabby,
'Twas maybe the Abbey,
(I think I created a scene.)
--- Sydney Bernard Smith

Three gins, and two bourbons, one beer
Champagne, some red wine with no peer,
Retsina and rum
With Pernod, by gum;
My head in the morning, I fear!
--- Anon

My poor aching head just fell off;
Too much Jack Daniels did I scoff.
I tried an old cure;
It caused a big spewer,
And never again will I quaff.

The products of John Barleycorn
Have often, sobriety torn.
But what's fun at night,
Quite often just might
Be regretted the following morn.

Though drinking may drive away sorrow,
Ephemeral happiness borrow,
Remember to think:
The more that you drink,
The sadder the sorrow tomorrow!

You see that I do not drink
Alcohol on account of its stink.
It gives me a sore head
And sends me to bed
For longer than doctors may think.

Whose drinking had kept her quite boozy.

But when hailed into court,
Asked mercy because she was woozy.

Boxing day I stayed in bed till noon,
But even that was waking too soon.
I've a pain in my head,
And my eyes they are red;
I think I'll be sober in June.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

Mmm-Mmm-Mmmumble. Oh mumble. Oh moan.
Is it morning? Oh, leave me alone,
Mmm-Mmm-Mmmumble. No more.
I'm most terribly sore.
Mmm-Mmm-Mmmumble. Oh bother. Oh groan.

Some hair of the dog,
The leg of a frog,
With some eye of a newt for a mixer!

My friends, now let me tell you...
Last night I came in
At 2 with a 10,
And woke up at 10 with a 2.

My chest seems loaded with GUNK;
Altogether I'm feeling punk.
So one more I aver,
Tongue covered in fur,
"That's the last time I ever get drunk!"

"It isn't the headache I dread,
The tongue that is furry,
My better half's fury;
It's the things that they'll say that I said."

Go into tub bottom,
With vapors caught in copper still.

To abandon all thought and all reason.
But though this is our fate
We will soon compensate.

Where natives go to great pains
To stir about little,
But just chaw and spittle
And distill a bit from corn grains.

'Bout life in a small Southern town,
Which hadn't an erg
Of work in the berg,
Their moonshine was of great renown.

From pot luck in a pot,
And he got the good cheer from a still.

And sample the poteen so neat.

While they walk in the cold on the beat.

Drinking from pre-owned Mason Jars.

'Cause nightly we run our moonshine.

Who kept his old Cap in a drum --
It cured him real good,
Except for his wood,
Which periscoped out of the rum.

And nightly, when all were in bed,
He'd snort him some snot
And rinse off the rot,
By giving old Cappy some head.

Being full of the best contraband rum.

And fall to the floor on our bum.

Wear them up round their necks,
For a kiss and a slug of rum toddy.

And the spirit in which it was given!

If you'd had that much brew,
And an enema given with rum!
