I had one hangover in college where I got sweaty, felt like I was going to have a heart attack and had to leave class to catch my breath outside. That was terribly unnerving.
I never get physically debilitating hangovers, excpet that sometimes I'll have an elevated heartrate for a few hours the next day. Oddly, sometimes I'll get the reverse, where I'll have a resting pulse around 50. Depends on what I drink, I guess, and whether I smoke a lot while drinking.
The severity of the hangover is inversely congruent to the number of previous days you've been drinking heavily. On a good run, by day three I am not feeling shit. If there's a bit of weed around, I'm bulletproof.

These are the kind of hangovers I get, but only on occasion. I try to the drinking lots of water thing, and that seems to help a lot. I'm sure it will get worse as I get older. Anyway, these are the worst, and they generally involve really unbearable head-pounding.
But, I don't know that I would trade these occasional hangovers from hell for being an easy vomiter, even if they weresn't as severe because of the vomiting. I'm convinced that, the few times I've vomited from drinking, it's because my body decided we weren't going to make it otherwise.
Do people really like being easy vomiters? That gets messy. I try to keep my vomiting to once every couple of years, and to make it happen only when I'm sick. Maybe it would be different if I wasn't the one who had to clean it up. But my teeth would still feel weird from all the stomach acid for a few days. I don't know how the bulimics do it!
