Hangover Question

Good afternoon!

Posting on a throwaway because I am admittedly embarrassed about my recent drinking habit. For a little background, I smoked weed for 15 years, developed a weed related disease that meant I couldn’t smoke anymore or risk kidney failure, and as such picked up drinking. I’m 27, before these last couple of months, I’d been drunk a handful of times at best. At this point (and im already of the mindset that I’m gonna take a bit off from the bottle) my wife and I are taking between 4-7 shots of vodka per night. I also drink a ton of water before, during and after my drinking. I have issues with kidney stones, so im always hydrated.

I have never been hungover. Not once. When I woke up today, I felt fine. Great, even. As the morning drew on and the afternoon started to close in, my stomach got upset, like bad. I think it peaked about an hour ago, and im still nauseous now but not nearly as bad as when i was head over the sink gagging and just wishing I could puke and get it over with. I still haven’t.

My question though, is this a hangover? I don’t have the headache that is usually associated with hangovers, so I worry it’s something else. Mostly just nausea and extreme tiredness.

Any insight would be great, thanks friends
