The Dedicated Fan
History of National Football Hangover Day
National Football Hangover Day was started by E.S.P.N. host and sports personality Katie Nolan in January 2019. Nolan reasoned that the eventfulness of staying up late to watch football deserves an entire day to recover the day after. This was her way of giving special recognition and honor to those fans who spent the entire football season cheering for their favorite football team.
Every year since 1967, football fans across the country have participated in the most-watched football event in America. On National Football Hangover Day, football fans gather together to celebrate, place friendly wagers, and indulge in food and drink. Studies show that nearly 14 million people call into work ‘sick’ the day after the big game! However, employers have figured out the reason for it and fans would rather have an official holiday after a busy football session than waste a sick day nursing a hangover.
Treating a hangover is debatable and everyone seems to have their own cure for it. Some people claim to have the ‘almighty cure’, while others say that the best way to treat a hangover is to simply let it pass. Hangover symptoms vary from person to person. Commonly, hangovers are characterized by headaches, nausea, fatigue, and dehydration. Normally, a hangover can be treated at home. However, a severe hangover could be indicative of alcohol poisoning, which requires emergency medical treatment as soon as possible. Doctors suggest that staying hydrated by drinking water can help minimize a hangover. It is also recommended that you avoid drinking on an empty stomach because alcohol is absorbed into the body more rapidly.
