Alcohol Hangover Headache

In his 1954 first novel, “Lucky Jim,” Sir Kingsley Amis describes the delayed effects of drinking port on the titular history lecturer upon awakening in the morning. “Dixon was alive again. Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way; not for him the slow, gracious wandering from the halls of sleep, but a summary, forcible ejection. . . . The light did him harm, but not as much as looking at things did; he resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. . . . he sat up a little, and what met his bursting eyes roused to a frenzy the timpanist in his head.”
