With all of the social events and gatherings that happen during the holiday season, there are a lot of opportunities to celebrate with a cocktail and the average drinker will suffer from four hangovers in December, according to new research. Adults who drink alcohol say there will be 16 occasions where they indulge, including work parties, dining out and drinks at home, a new survey finds.
With all that drinking, it’s no wonder people will end up with a hangover, and participants say each one typically lasts for 10 hours. But for some unfortunate folks, hangover symptoms linger for 24 hours or longer (8%). As a result, 75% say they’ll try a range of things to try to feel better, including staying in bed all day, getting fresh air and going to the gym.
According to the survey, the top hangover cures are:
- Fresh air
- Coffee
- Painkillers
- Staying in bed
- Sparkling water/soda drinks
- Cold shower or bath
- Fruit
- Herbal tea
- Hair of the dog
- Pizza
- Watching movies/TV/YouTube
- Going swimming
- Vitamins
- Bloody Mary drink (either with or without alcohol)
- Sauna and steam
