Hm, what about being constipated with hemorrhoids?

ETA: No wait, how about this: same as above, but, assuming you're a male, with the intestines so full that they press against the prostate (basically the "core" of your pleasure/pain generator) and keep you from being able to urinate.

Then, top it off with a severe hangover headache.

Who would prefer being proven wrong to all of that? Me.
