The British manufacturer of soft drinks conducted a study in which it was determined that the average Briton spent in a hangover state for more than five years of life.
According to the results of the poll, which was attended by more than 1,500 people, between 21 and 38 years of age, the British suffer from the effects of drinking 60 days a year on average. In the period from 38 to 46 six years, the average number of hungover days in a year is 45, and from 46 to 60 days, 23 days. In total, this amounts to 1,926 days or 5.27 years.
It is specified that, according to recent data, the British skip 13 million working days because of a hangover. Recall that earlier British scientists conducted a study in which it was found that 520 thousand people come to work with a strong hangover syndrome.
