"Bottle-ache" nghĩa là choáng váng, đau đầu, nôn nao vì say rượu hoặc đang cai rượu.

Ví dụ
Meanwhile Mrs.Bryce, her face tied up, looking very doleful (sầu thảm) under the tooth a thoughtful little woman , had sent a strong bottle ache.

I don't even know what bottle-ache is, but I can assure you, I ain't got that. It's just a head cold, I swear. Must have got it from one of the boarders (khách trọ). It's making me ache something awful, right here.

So, apparently, I'm lucky. But I'd have been luckier to think of this yesterday—before the IVs and the race car, the limo and the lunch, the margaritas (một loại cocktail) and machine guns. And now I've got that second-day bottle-ache.

He holds my face in his hands and looks deep into my eyes, then peers (nhìn săm soi) into the crack in my head. “You're low in spirits, looks like.” I hold my breath. “One or two's okay but too many and you'll get a bottle ache. Know that?” I nod some more.
