When someone else's drinking gives you a headache

Millions of students deal with the consequences of someone else's drinking every day, but no one really talks about the effects of "secondhand heavy drinking." You may not be the one tossing back a six-pack an hour, but if you end up losing sleep or study time 'cause a drunk person disturbs you, or if you have to clean up the bathroom after a wasted roommate throws up, it's kind of like having your own non-alcoholic hangover.
