Hypothesis: The infusion rate of alcohol into the endolymph is different 
from the rate into the maculae and cupulae creating a specific gravity 
differential.  This is perceived as a spurious sense of movement 
inconsistent with visual and tactile inputs.  Such different rates have 
been demonstrated in lab experiments.

The different rates of removal could be the cause of 'morning after.'
Just an idea.
