National Hangover Day - Embrace Recovery and Start the Year Fresh

Observed on January 1, National Hangover Day is dedicated to easing into the New Year with a focus on rest and recovery. Following New Year’s Eve celebrations, this unofficial holiday acknowledges the effects of late-night revelries and encourages everyone to take time for self-care. Typical “remedies” range from hydrating with electrolyte-rich drinks, consuming a balanced breakfast, to indulging in classic “hangover foods” like eggs, toast, or even a Bloody Mary (which is celebrated on this same day!).

For many, National Hangover Day has become an opportunity to share tips on recovering from the effects of alcohol, like staying hydrated, getting fresh air, or enjoying a quiet morning. Some communities host brunch events or cozy gatherings to help friends and family start the New Year in a more laid-back, relaxed way.
