In my few experiences with drinking, I don't think I've ever really had a bad hangover. Most of the time, I'm perfectly fine when I wake up, occasionally I have a bit of a hangover, but not much of one.
And I'm not talking about just getting buzzed, on a couple of occasions I've gotten completely smashed and woke up fine.
EDIT: Then again, your situation might be slightly different than mine, since you had to get up to go to work. In my situations I just slept it off(not for an incredibly long time, but a good night's sleep.)
