What Causes Headache Post Alcohol Consumption?

Hi, three days ago I had a big night on the alcohol and vomited the same night. Today I am still feeling terrible with a headache, feeling sick , very tired and have not eaten for three days. I have previously had Meningitis a year ago and my parents are worried I might have it again. I have a very sore neck but dont have a rash. Thanks.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Your symptoms of alcohol hangover do not sound consistent as you present them with meningitis. If there is more information such as fever, chills, toxic looking appearance (aside from the hangover) then, perhaps more reason to worry. If you would like to consult with me 1-1, as a neurologist, I can be reached at bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi
