[Music] hello English Learners welcome back to another lesson with us at English pod my name is Marco and I'm Erica and today we don't feel very good that's right um actually in this lesson we're talking about a hangover hangover wow that's a that's an interesting word what does that mean well when you when you drink beer or wine or vodka and you drink too much of it mhm the next morning you have a hangover uh H okay so a lot of our listeners have probably experienced The Hangover before it's very likely but the problem is
when you have to go to work the next day yes um and you might need to actually miss work but you need some good um words and phrases to describe how bad you feel okay so let's listen to this dialogue for the first time we have a guy describing his hangover and why he missed work that day [Music] are you okay man you don't look very well I feel terrible I went out last night with Trevor and things got a little out of hand nice so where did you guys go we hit up a couple
of local bars and met up with some friends everything was cool until Mike came along and it turned out that it was his birthday yesterday oh no Mike's birthday is a drink fest for sure tell me about it we drank everything in the bar is that why you miss work today yeah I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous I threw up like five times ew I was so dehydrated that I drank a gallon of water and my head has been pounding all day I swear I am never going to drink again too bad man
tonight is Tracy's going away party and she asked if you were going to go oh yeah I'm there all right so he's never drinking again but then at the next chance for a party he's already ready to go I think that's the typical lie of every person that drinks they say I'll never drink again but a week later or a month later they they are again or a day later all right so we saw some great vocab here so let's look at it now in language takeaway language takeaway going to look at five words here
now the first one um they talked about how Mike's birth day is a drink fest a drink fest it's a drink fest all right so we have this word drink fest now what is this Fest part well maybe you recognize the word October Fest okay or Festival mhm so Fest is like a party there's lots of food there's lots of drink a drink fest is an event where there's a lot of drinks okay so can I have different types of fests yeah this is a really informal sort of slang way of saying there's lots of
something so I could say oh my God it's a puppy Fest so there are a lot of puppies or I can say like a fast food fest okay so you're eating a lot of food there's a lot of fast food all right so fast interesting mhm now when he was describing his hangover he said that he felt really nauseous nauseous nauseous now I always have a hard time spelling this word so n u s e o u s nauseous nauseous it kind of seems like you should say naus right but but you say nauseous yeah
okay so when you're feeling nauseous what do you feel like so you feel Buzzy you don't feel very well like your stomach hurts yeah and your head is kind of spinning okay and you feel like you might throw up right exactly now this word that you just mentioned throw up is actually our next word and well we're not going to describe it why don't we just listen to a person throwing up oh Marco that was horrible well that's the only only way we could actually explain throw up I mean it's kind of a hard word
to explain but I'm sure everyone understands now what it means right okay the the word is to throw up to throw up to throw up our next word now our guy who's hung over he said I was so dehydrated dehydrated to be dehydrated so this is an adjective and it means that I have no water in my body exactly okay so I am dehydrated I need water yeah common feeling after drinking too much beer huh exactly now our final word he he said he had a headache and he said my head's been pounding all day
okay so his head has been pounding all day mhm now this verb pounding it sounds like this all right so a clear example of what your head feels like when you have this very bad headach mhm you can also say I have a pounding headache I have a pounding headache exactly or my head is pounding all right so five great words that we just looked at right now so why don't we listen to our dialogue a second time let's slow it down just a little bit and then we'll come back and take a look at

this morning feeling really nauseous I threw up like five times ew I was so dehydrated that I drank a gallon of water and my head has been pounding all day I swear I am never going to drink again too bad man tonight is Tracy's going away party and she asked if you were going to go oh yeah I'm [Music] there all right well that was a little easier to understand this time now you mentioned that we've got some great phrases so let's go to them now and fluency Builder fluency Builder all right so as we

fine exactly and then Mike came along and then things got a little out of hand oh that mic and now for our last phrase he was describing that Mike's birthday party was a drink fest right mhm and then his friend agreed he said tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it now what does this mean exactly when he says tell me about it basically it means I completely understand I completely agree with you y okay so I could say oh my God Marco it's so hot outside today right and I was

bars and met up with some friends everything was cool until Mike came along and it turned out that it was his birthday yesterday oh no Mike's birthday is a drink fest for sure and tell me about it we drank everything in the bar is that why you miss work today yeah I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous I threw up like five times E I was so dehydrated that I drank a gallon of water and my head has been pounding all day I swear I am never going to drink again too bad man tonight
is Tracy's going away party and she asked if you were going to go oh yeah I'm [Music] there so it sounds like these guys sure like to go out and have a few drinks don't they yeah exactly and I think this is a very common thing among among well young people usually in the United States you know after uh after a day at the office or something they'll go or even Europe they'll go to the pub right yeah but the thing is uh that in America and Canada we're very careful about alcohol and young people
right yeah exactly the legal drinking age in the most part of the United States is 21 years of age mhm and really many um parents or families will never let their children drink alcohol until they're 21 right and also the laws that control alcohol like for example on television if you notice a TV commercial with a beer or a wine you will never see the person actually drinking it it's illegal yeah that's true while in other countries it's okay you'll see people drinking it and having fun in these commercials they can only maybe put them
close to their lips but not drink it interesting and you another weird thing is that um you know sometimes you might want to sit in your back Garden or out on your your your porch and have a beer after work right but in places it's totally illegal to do that you can't be outside with alcohol right you can't be seen drinking or you can't be on the sidewalk or on a bus drinking well in other places you can right you can just have a beer on the subway so it's a little bit different policies on
alcohol control what do you guys think about it do you think it's correct or you think maybe it's a little bit too exaggerated come to our website englishpod do.com and tell us about it all right we'll see you guys there and until next time thanks for downloading and [Music] goodbye the English pod audio review listen to the meaning then say the vocabulary word become out of control got a little out of hand very drunk wasted to go to a place hit to vomit barf to happen a certain way turned out medicine you take to cure
