I had a coworker who'd go out and get drunk on nights before she had work the next morning, then spend the day complaining about her hangover. Seriously, you knew you had work, so why'd you go out drinking? I wouldn't even mind that, so long as you didn't whine about the hangover you knew was coming.
I wouldn't mind so much if it was more like, "Sorry if I'm not at my top game. I got drunk and now I'm not feeling too hot. That's my fault." Even just acknowledging it makes it less annoying for me - I understand that it can be hard to turn down a good time. But nope, she just moped about it.

Replace she with he and that is my workplace. He goes out drinking every night and he always come to office to complain about his hangovers because I am the only other person under 40 in our department. I just want to strangle him every time he speaks to me because he makes my life miserable. He never comes in before 11 am, then he takes a two hour lunch break at 1, and most of the time you can find him asleep at his desk. Since I am the newest person in the department I get stuck with all of his work and I don't get paid any extra for doing it. I know they are never going to fire him because his father is a partner, but I wish they would move him to his father's department and force him to deal with it.
