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.
