Attending a weekend wedding or just partying it up on the weekend – with a crazy cocktail, youngsters or bachelor/bachelorette? Get ready for a crazier hangover! This WILL be even worse if it’s a Punjabi wedding! EEPS!
We’re told work hard, party hard – what we forget is post that party, you need to work hard again! Because after the wedding weekend, comes the weekday at work. Damn, We feel your pain😖 .
We’ve rounded up some Tips that will help:
Prepare while you’re Sane, reduce the Pain:
If you know your evening can go a little out of whack, spend the last hour of your previous day preparing for the dreaded Monday. Here’s how:
Plan for the mother of all hangovers, assume you’ll be wasted and plan your to-do-list and make it as simple as possible! Draft emails that need to go out, reschedule any important face-to-face meetings, pick out your Monday outfit*. Trust us, your future-self will be so thankful 🙏🏼!
Water is your Friend
We can’t harp enough on the importance of getting in some solid H2O between your drinks. Find it, befriend it, guzzle it!
Shots are Not
Learn to say “NO” to all of the boys: Jack, Johnny and Jose – NO Shots!
Eat before you Sleep
Do not go to the party empty stomach and do not return without eating. Light meals = Lightheaded. Make sure you eat before drinking. (Remember the Order!! 🍜 ➡️ 🍻)
(Hack: Even eating A Cube of Cheese before going out will go a long way!)
Snooze so you don’t Loose (your JOB!)
Wise up and get a cab, use the insane Indian traffic jams to catch some zzzs.
Shower for more Power
A cold shower is just what the doctor ordered. Wash away last night’s bad decisions toxins!
P.S. Your colleagues will thank you too! No one wants to smell last night’s booze oozing from your pores in the boardroom.
You’re only as Hungover as you Look
The bedhead look is sexy only on models, do NOT try it on yourself. Nothing will sell you out faster than rolling into work with your not so sexy bedhead and an outfit you clearly picked out with your eyes closed.
*Do yourself a favour and pick out your office clothes before you leave for the party!
(Hack: Go intense on the Kajal and Liner, hides your haggard eyes! Makeup Sunglasses 😎 to the rescue!)
Toast to Last Night repeatedly – minus the Alcohol
Liquids are a hung-over person’s most loyal companion. Ensure you are stocked up on electrolyte-filled drinks, like coconut water or even Rasna/Tang!
(Hack: One Glass of Cucumber Juice = 1 Litre of Water! )
Feed your Hangover Monster
Fill yourself with a good meal – comfort food is great. Fruits even better.They’ll help get you back to your former self, make your way back from the dark side.
(Hack: Eat carbs they will soak up the remaining alcohol and make you feel saner-sooner 😃)
Walk and Talk (babble) or just Walk
Fresh air can really clear the head, so if you get the chance on your break or during lunch, get out of the building and just go for a walk (you don’t even need to do it in a straight line – we know you can’t)
(Hack: Think you can Muster some energy? Do some jumping jacks, preferably in the loo 😄, exercise is the quickest cure to Hangover)
Have an Escape Route
When everything else fails and the situation is worse than you thought. Follow these three steps:
#1 Find your phone #2 Scour all social media for any incriminating pictures of last night #3 If you are in the clear, go ahead and call your boss #4 Check the time {Anytime before 6 am – you look as though you’re either still out, anything after 8 am – you’re enjoying your sleep a bit too much for a person who has office}
#5 Let your voice convey how miserable you feel #6 Lie your ass off (cue in the fever story) #7 Dump the phone and sleep it off 💤!
Hey! you tried, better safe than sorry! ✊
