National Hangover day is officially Jan. 1, because duh

A new national “holiday” has been proclaimed, New Year’s Day will henceforth forever be known as “National Hangover Day.”

This day has of course always existed, but had yet to be named. We always knew Jan. 1 was the day when we’d wake up with a cold sweat and the urge to expel all our internal organs via our mouths. Now we have a name for it.

This is all of course thanks to NationalDayCalendar.com, an unelected body of people who apparently have the legislative ability to make these “holidays” appear out of nowhere.

The site offers some ideas for how to prevent a hangover which can essentially be boiled down to the following nuggets of wisdom:

Pace yourself when drinking
Drink water

The site also offers some ideas for how to help cure your hangover, all of which can yet again be boiled down to the following:

Drink water
Don’t drink more alcohol
Eat if you can
Wait for it to pass

Happy National Hangover Day, you lush!
