How to say "hangover" in Japanese

• 二日酔いふつかよいCommon
  noun, suru verb, intransitive verbThe everyday word for a hangover — the headache and nausea you feel the morning after drinking too much. Use this in ordinary contexts.
  休やすみの前まえなどは少すこし羽目はめを外はずして飲のむのだが、杜仲とちゅう茶ちゃ割わりで飲のむと二ふた日か酔よいが全まったくない。↗

  I usually cut loose a bit and drink plenty before a day off work, but if my drinks are cut with tochu tea, then I get absolutely no hangover.
• 宿酔しゅくすい
  nounA formal or literary term for the same after-drinking sense as 二日酔い. In everyday conversation it is seldom the word you want; it belongs to formal or literary writing.
• 持ち越しもちこし
  noun, suru verbA marginal match for hangover: the word really describes what you ate the day before and are still digesting, so it is not the usual choice for the morning-after effects of drinking.

Use 「二日酔い」 for the ordinary hangover after drinking; 宿酔 says the same thing in formal or literary style; 「持ち越し」 is a marginal match that really describes food eaten the day before and still being digested.
