The Fear

CapriSunFun

Woke up this morning with the biggest hangover and The Fear.

""The Fear" is the sense that you have done yourself some lasting damage after a night of drinking. It's symptoms are:

- A feeling that you are going to die soon (and not just due to other hangover symptoms);
- A sense that people or organizations are out to get you;
- Angst that you may have offended, inappropriately touched or physically attacked someone the night before;
- Foreboding about the next time you meet the people or return to the bar where you degraded yourself the previous night.

The fear is often accompanied by "The Remorse" where you are also genuinely ashamed and sorry for the way you have behaved, as well as simply frightened for the sake of your own wellbeing.
Concerned Friend: "How are you feeling after last night?"
Sufferer: "I am riddled with The Fear. And cat AIDS.""

I usually get it when I drink cheap vodka, i.e. Tesco's finest!

I really wasn't even that drunk last night so I'm pretty sure I remember everything I said and done but I can't help but feel really scared!

Does anyone else get this after drinking?

Bloody nora and I was cribbing about my hangover in the hangover thread,

No I never got the fear, but I will crack open my remaining cans tonight so I fear I will get another hangover:(

Sure you can have a few in the morning to take the edge off.

mmmmm I always thought the fear was, your just waking up from the night before, you throw the arm out it lands on flesh you slowly turn to see what is warming you arm up,

your holding your mums tit, but maybe this is just part of the fear.

I don't drink or take drugs so I don't have any of THOSE fears

Had The Fear a few weeks ago. Good God. Never again. Never ever again.

Never had The Fear, but I have had The WTF? after a party many years ago.

I keep making the same mistake whenever I go to a party: I like to take some kind of unusual drink, for a bit of variety, and end up drinking too much of it myself. The worst case involved a bottle of Smirnoff Black Label Vodka, which I found I liked. To cut a long story short: my liver was insulted, and I was yellow for a week - hence The WTF?

Just remember its not you, it's them.. you fear the inadequacies of society. your fear was disgust all along. laugh at how you once aspired to that, lol.. but feared coming up short. hack them all up into little metaphorical pieces and feed them to your imaginary cat

Currently sitting out a two day hangover, still dehydrated, and headache that just wont go.

That what happens when ur xmas work party is the Friday which starts at 6 and you then head to the pub about 5 on xmas eve to repeat the proccess whilst also deciding to hit a casino on the way home.

Yes, the carrot did it but that's where the term comes from. And leave the dog alone!

You can see The Camberwell Carrot and The Fear in this clip.

Withnail: Who says it's a Camberwell Carrot?
Danny: I do. I invented it in Camberwell, and it looks like a carrot.

Just go for a curer and your fear will be gone

Until the next day when it will be double fold! After that if you choose to repeat the effects increase exponentially.

Anyone equating the FEAR with a hangover has never had the fear.

Its the most horrible feeling in the world. It makes no sense. I can go out, drink myself rotten, yet remember everything i did and know that I caused no offense to man nor beast yet you still think either the world is going to end/i'm going to die or multiple persons/organisations are out to get you.

FTF !!!

I thought Pennywise the Clown was coming for me the other night. Dam you Stephen King. And dam whoever let me watch that movie as a kid.

Missed 4 days of work from the fear before, most horrible experience I ever had. Couldn't sleep as my mind was racing and was in cold sweats, its just a horrible experience not anyway closely related to your standard hangover.

Its funny how the most trivial things with the fear make it feel like its the end of the world at the time and you're going to die and you feel like you murdered someone all at once

Never drinking 3 days in a row again, ever

I just farted and now I have the fear. :eek::eek:

a long time ago when i was very young , a friend , and his own friend who i barely knew ,
called around to my basement bedsit , before going out somewhere mid afternoon.
the barely known friend proceeded to pull out about 10 huge sticks of hash from his rucksack and chop them up
on my table with my bread knife , wrap them in foil and put them back in his rucksack - i didnt ask .

i became naturally very nervy at this unexpected spectacle
so then we shared a humungous doobie - which blew my brains to smithereens.

we then went out , climbed up into the very bright daylight of the street
and walked like zombies head down heading into town ,

i was taken by the biggest attack of fear known to mankind and was just about to turn back and hide inside my flat
when i heard a loud blaring cop car siren moving swiftly towards us

i was prepared for the inevitable bust and shakedown , and practically about to **** myself when I looked up and
realised it was a kid playing with his toy cop car in a buggy being swiftly pushed by us.
