To sign 'hungover', form a 'Y' handshape with your dominant hand by extending your thumb and pinky while curling your other fingers. Bring your hand up to the side of your head, keeping your thumb near your temple and your pinky pointing outward. Hold the hand there or give it a slight shake. It is essential to include a facial expression that conveys discomfort, a headache, or feeling unwell to complete the meaning of the sign.
To sign this, point to yourself for 'I', sign 'today', and then sign 'hungover' while exaggerating your pained facial expression to show how bad you feel.
Point to the person for 'you', sign 'hungover', and make sure to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly to indicate that you are asking a yes-or-no question.

No, they are different signs. 'Drunk' is typically signed by moving an 'A' handshape (with the thumb extended) past your mouth or face, while 'hungover' uses a 'Y' handshape at the side of the head to show the aftereffects.
You can hold the 'Y' handshape still near your temple, or you can give it a very slight shake or twist. Both variations are acceptable, but the most important part is your facial expression showing discomfort.
'Hungover' is almost always a one-handed sign. If you want to emphasize that you have a terrible hangover, you should exaggerate your facial expression and body language rather than adding a second hand.
