Through these confusing marriages between nobles, George I of Great Britain came to rule. Irish and Britons were very happy, as they are well-known famous drunkards themselves. They didn't give a shit that their monarch was a foreigner. George I held magnificent parties at Buckingham Palace, but he was totally overtaken by his grandson, George III. After his own parties, Georgie III used to wake up anywhere but his bed. In one case, his wife found him behind a bush, embraced with a big Barbie doll and dressed like a plumber. After losing the U.S.A., things got worse and he was frequently found at various London pubs. At his last hangover, he was found atop the London Eye, next to a dozen of whiskey bottles, his wig almost off his head and a self-written poem, called Fuck the United Statez.

King George IV didn't follow the traditionary habits, as he instead prefered eating from dusk to dawn. His successor, William IV, restored his family reputation by giving some remarkable parties. He was said to be the one who introduced Budweiser beer to UK, a beer which tastes like slop and has no effect whatsoever has an interesting taste to it. His hangovers became proverbial and were known all over the world. The last of the Mohicans Hangoverians was Queen Victoria. Initially, many people doubted if she could continue the tradition, but soon Victoria entered the Hangoverian way. Her royal parties received legendary status, known for the huge amounts of wine. She used to wake up naked, wrapped in curtains. Her most notable party was held in India, involving Lord Dalhousie, several Indian soldiers, two belly dancers and an elephant. At her Diamond Jubilee party, her last significant hangover, Victoria woke up in the bathtub, surrounded by horses wearing thongs. Oscar Wilde has stated: "Yes, Vicky was an authentic Hangoverian. We had a drink contest once, together with Edward VII. The next day, Vicky missed two teeth, Wellington had pink hair and I woke up with a terrible rear pain". King Edward VII still counts as a Hangoverian, but we won't mention him.
