Englishmen spend 4 years hungover. How long are they drunk?




From the Daily Mail: "The Average Briton Spends Four Years Hungover."

Researchers found we struggle with a splitting headache and nausea for 24 days a year, which equates to 1,452 days during an average adult lifetime.

The survey of 2,000 adults, by YorkTest, found while Saturday and Sunday were the most common 'sorehead' days, one in 10 said they were often hungover on a Monday.


Sweet christ. That is, conservatively, 5 percent of someone's life, in some cases, more like 7-8%. I get hangovers too, but not like that. Unless that's why I fucking hate the morning.

Also, it's just occurred to me that the average Briton must spend something like 8-10 years drunk. Sounds like a capital idea!
