Hangover or Pig-Out, which is worse?

Today I woke to the after effects of Thanksgiving gone wild. Luckily this year granny kept her top on and Uncle Pete pre rolled his joints. This way none of my nieces and nephews went home crying or singing "Pass the Dutchie"...
I myself, was so overjoyed that the police didn't come knocking, I relaxed for the first time in what seemed like months. I was a case deep before the bird ran out of the oven and recall corralling the entire pumpkin pie the way Charles Barkley would a rebound.

It was good times.

From what I can remember.

And then I woke up. Cranberry sauce crust on my cheeks.

Everything hurt and what didn't hurt... didn't work ...

My nephews are running around screaming and I'm too weak to yell or give chase.

I downed 10K worth of calories yesterday and am moving like a sea lion in the dessert.

This headache's making me wonder:
Is this my worst hangover ever?

Maybe I'm just getting old...how about you guys?

What's your worst holiday hangover OR pig-out story?

Bonus bananas for anyone who can correlate pumpkin pie to pumpkin beer as a Devil's Brew even Satan wouldn't touch.

Yuck.

Later...

Midas, what are you trying to correlate between Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin beer? Maybe I'm missing something, but you're a month late as most Pumpkin Beers are off the shelf by November 1st.

 

Midas,

Then let it be resolved, I am going to do to Beer what Eddie has done for Rum in order to help some young monkey not end up drinking Pumpkin Beer after October, downing a Winter Warmer in June, A Marzen in December or a Shandy in April.

Hey, at least I can put my alcoholism to good use.

You have my not-needed blessings. Let me just underline that I will be drinking Russian Imperial Stout even when it's not winter, when I'm not in the former Soviet Block or even when people don't believe that I am actually a Monarchist at heart.
