   Check your local library for a number of books by Ramon Adams.  He may have a   
   "cowboy" expression for a hangover.  Check "The Cowboy   
   Dictionary", "The Cowboy says it Salty", "Cowboy Lingo" etc.  I think these   
   books may be different working titles for the same   
   material or merely books reworked.  I don't have any of these titles nor have   
   I read them.
