Vacation Hangover Habit

It's been Spring Break for me since Good Friday. I've been off for 1 week and 3 days. Over that 10 day period, I've had a hangover on 5 different occasions.
I went out for a celebratory Spring Break happy hour with co-workers on Good Friday down in Notting Hill and woke up with a hangover on Saturday.
Then, I had dinner with Roger and Quentin on on Easter Sunday. Afterwards we went out dancing at a club called Cargo in Shoreditch. I woke up with a hangover on Monday morning.
Monday night I went to a pub near the Barbican with some friends. Tuesday morning- hangover.
Friday night, I went out for curry on Brick Lane. My date and I had drinks before and after. I woke up with a headache on Saturday morning.
On Saturday night, Roger's former roommate and her boyfriend threw a wine and cheese party. Steph and I brought two bottles of wine, no cheese. Sunday morning was ugly.
I'm slightly disturbed that 50% of my Spring Break has been spent inebriated so far. Today I'm, sober, not hung over, and off for a week in Istanbul. Perhaps a hamam (Turkish bath) is just what I need to dry out & sober up before I go back to work. Living la vida London is getting to be a bit wild for me!
