An epic, skull-cracking hangover after serious alcohol excess. In Spain, resacón is the intensified form of "resaca" (regular hangover), cranked up to a level where sunlight feels like a personal attack, getting out of bed seems impossible, and you swear you will never drink again.
“Tengo un resacón tremendo, no puedo ni levantarme.”
“I have a brutal hangover, I can't even get out of bed.”
“Después de la boda nos quedó un resacón de tres días.”
“After the wedding, we were destroyed by a three-day hangover.”

Tener el santo de espaldas
When nothing goes your way and it feels like the universe has a personal grudge against you. In Mexico and Spain, the image is religious: your patron saint has literally turned their back on you, leaving you to fend for yourself against an endless streak of bad luck.
