At least you're not alone...

From The Metro:

More than half a million staff turn up to work with hangover on any given day, claims a report. And it is only going to get worse when the World Cup starts, said Drinkaware, which is teaming up with Bupa to advise employers about workers’ drinking. Figures show that on an average day around 520,000 workers in the UK are suffering from the night before...

Interestingly, there's no rent-a-quote from Alcohol Concern in that article. NB, Drinkaware is not a fakecharity, it is funded by the alcohol industry as a PR exercise (which is fair enough).

So what if we feel shit as long as we get the work done?

Mark Wadsworth said...

JH, how did you feel the next morning.

BE, exactly. And if you miss a promotion or get the sack because of it, your problem, not 'society's problem' and no concern of mine.
