Vesna

I'm just curious how you all define these two terms and what you see as the differences. For me, after a night of heavy drinking, I would be ill the whole next day and sometimes for several days (and would often end up with a bad cold due to lack of sleep), and the LAST thing that would've occurred to me would've been taking another drink the next morning. I'd generally spend the day in bed, very dehydrated and sick. My danger point would be that once I felt well again a couple days later, I'd become bored and use my burst of energy for the next binge.

So...is a hangover actually withdrawal, or is withdrawal different? I'm hoping to never drink again, so this is purely an academic discussion...just curious.
