National Hangover Day

National Hangover Day is not in vain after the holidays when a good half of humanity is feeling unwell. The reason for this is alcohol! On New Year’s Eve, it amuses and helps people become more sociable, but in the morning it is not so friendly. If you drink a few cocktails, this will not happen, but if you exceed the “safe” amount, there will definitely be retribution.

History

National Hangover Day was created in 2015. Founders Keegan Calligar and Marlo Anderson argued that there were few holidays in early January, and society listened to them. The men did not specify how they celebrate the occasion, but we are sure that it is definitely fun!

Scientists do not know the exact date when alcohol first appeared. However, it is believed that this happened in the Neolithic era when the fruits of tropical plants began to ferment. 11-12 thousand years ago, alcoholic drinks entered human life, with evidence of brewing found in China. We think that hangovers appeared around this time, and our ancestors were surprised by this state of affairs!
