Mall hangover refers to the headache, tiredness and sometimes nausea¹ one gets after going to the mall, just like many may experience after heavy consumption of alcohol. A hangover describes the sum of unpleasant physiological² effects following heavy consumption of alcoholic³ beverages⁴, typically after the intoxicating⁵ effects of the alcohol begin to wear off. This is exactly where the term comes from.

“商场宿醉反应”（mall hangover）指逛完商场后出现的头痛、疲劳及偶感恶心的症状，就跟人喝醉酒以后经历的不舒服的感觉一样。Hangover这个词本来就是指喝醉酒以后、尤其是酒劲散去之后出现的不适反应。Mall hangover便是由此而来。

 

For example:

 

I was at the mall for like five hours and when I got home I had a major mall hangover.

我在商场待了大概5个小时，回家后就出现了严重的商场宿醉反应。
