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.

Worse than a hangover of any variety is when you wake up the next day sick drunk. You aren't really hung over, but you feel like you've been rode hard and not put up yet. You're still drunk, slurring a bit and you can't quite seem to find your balance.
The only thing you can do with one of those mornings is to sit in a hot bath and smoke joints and drink lots and lots of ice water. And play John Coltrane.
