I agree; I had a friend who would regularly drink cases of beer on the weekends and though he said he never got hangovers, oddly he often reported experiencing food poisoning and would attribute his malaise to wherever he ate last.

In one of P.G. Wodehouse's stories, a man explains his hangover as charcoal poisoning, from the powdered charcoal used to color inferior caviar. I had never heard of such an explanation outside his fiction before.
