Praise for Hungover
Who knew subject matter so (literally) uncomfortable could be so much damn fun? Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall is the perfect endearingly flawed and funny narrator to take us on this wild, worldwide adventure into the history of our painful mornings after. Whether hes piloting a fighter plane in Vegas, chatting with a blacksmith in Devon, cheating death in the desert and the alps, or attempting twelve pints in twelve pubs, his daring, wit, and insight never disappointall with, it would seem, a blazing hangover. Part science, part folklore, part string of the authors very bad ideas with good intentions, Hungover is a highly knowledgeable and ridiculously enjoyable ride.
Stacey May Fowles, author of Baseball Life Advice
Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall has risked life and liver to write this book, a perilous trip into many mornings afterhistorical, cinematic, literary, and of course his own. Thats the entertaining part. As to whether Bishop-Stall has, in fact, invented a hangover remedy that actually works? I live in hope.
Adam Rogers, author of Proof: The Science of Booze
It takes a writer as skilled as Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall to write a rip-roaring adventure story about the morning after. Thoroughly researched, rich in history and humor, against all odds, Hungover makes you wish you were there.
Tabatha Southey, author of The Deep Cold River Story
Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall invests health, wealth, and well-being in a wild Dionysian quest for a viable hangover cure. In the end he gets more than one, and we do, too.
Linden MacIntyre, Scotiabank Giller Prizewinning author of The Bishops Man
Praise for Down to This
Nothing short of a masterpiece.
National Post (Canada)
Some writers go to great lengths to write a book. They climb Mount Everest, follow armies into war zones, go undercover with a professional sports team, or travel around the world on a motorbike.... Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall has more guts than any of those writers.
Edmonton Journal
Intensely perceptive, Bishop-Stall tumbles heartbreak with hilarity, outrageous despair with shimmering hope.
Calgary Herald

HUNGOVER
Shaughnessy Bishop-Stalls first book, Down to This: Squalor and Splendour in a Big-City Shantytownabout a year he spent living with the homelesswas shortlisted for several prestigious awards, none of which it won. His first novel, Ghosted, about a guy who becomes a professional ghostwriter of suicide letters, was nominated for the Amazon First Novel Award, which it also lost. His work has appeared in dozens of magazinesmost of which no longer exist. He played the role of Jason, a well-dressed, bad-mannered journalist, on CBCs The Newsroomin what turned out to be its final season. He used to own a bar, called The Lowdown, but that didnt work out either. He is not very good at social mediabut he also has trouble letting things go, so you might want to check for updates on his quest and improvements on the cure at hungoverlowdown.com.

Version_1
For Brandy Bob Stall,
Who lived so fast,
He soared right past his day of dying,
And still has never been hungover,
though not, of course, for lack of trying.
This book took almost a decade to write. And as of the time of this note, I am still alive. Thats the spoiler.
As a disclaimer: this subject proved to be far richer than I first imagined. Though my original intention was to make it an entirely global venture, the narrative takes place mostly in what we call the West. I hope, one dayafter much recuperationto delve more deeply into Russia, Asia and Africa, and farther south into South America.
In terms of full disclosure: over the past many years I have traveled to too many cities in too many countries and drunk far too much of everythingwith barkeeps, businesspeople and brewers, winemakers, winos and whiners, distillers, doctors and druids, as well as some people I probably shouldnt have. I have tried every tincture, tonic, powder, pill, placebo, root, leaf, bark, chemical and therapeutic process I could legally test, and then some others. And although everything on these pages did take place and Ive done my damnedest with the fact-checking, the order in which some events appear is not always chronological. No matter how I tried, however, the morning after did still follow the night before.
A title is the start of any story that happens to have a title. And this one has already caused some controversy, at least with my editor, who is pressing for a hyphen (Hung-over), and my father, who is adamant it be two words (Hung Over). But in my opinion, one of them drinks a helluva lot, and the other not quite enough. And anyway, it is my book, so well be going with hungoveralong with helluva, alright and goddamn.
Hungover is an adjective, derived from the noun hangover, not to be confused with drunka difference well explained in Richard Linklaters 2003 film School of Rock:
DEWEY FINN : (Jack Black): Okay. Heres the deal. I have a hangover. Who knows what that means?
KID : Doesnt that mean youre drunk?
DEWEY FINN : No. It means I was drunk yesterday.
Or as Clement Freud, the nephew of Sigmund, put it, Drunk is when you have too much to drink. Hangover is when some of you is sober enough to realize how drunk the rest of you is.
But on some level, you probably already knew thatwhereas you might not know what an etymological newcomer
