10 Quick Tips to Not Look Hung-over at the Office
It’s 7am Thursday morning and the alarm clock pierces through your skull. As you forcibly try and muster the strength to drag yourself out of bed, the impending headache begins to settle. Bloodshot eyes and still half asleep, you crawl into the shower and let the hot water pour down your face. Last night you hit rock star status, this morning you’re reading level is reduced to the motor functions of a kindergartner. Way to go Ace…
It happens to the best of us. We get a little too carried away on a school night, stay out too late, and pound too many ½ price cocktails. It makes for a grueling work day. Has this ever happened to you?
Don’t fret the small stuff, we got you covered. Sometimes, you have to express your inner domination and let that rock star shine on a school night, it happens. We put together 10 quick tips to fake not being hung-over at the office:
Take a Shower
Do not make this rookie mistake! When you wake up late, it’s tempting to skip a shower and douche yourself in cologne. Reminisce of bar smells, matted greasy hair, and cheese fries crusted on your face is a dead giveaway of 3am domination. Wash off the dirt and start fresh, your coworkers will appreciate it.
Water and B12 Vitamins
Alcohol dries out the system. Rehydrate with lots of water before bed and in the morning. B12 Vitamins support cardiovascular wellness which counters the restricting affect booze has on the blood vessels. Take one before bed, and one in the morning…it helps get the blood flowing.
Ninja Move #1: It Rubs the Lotion on the Skin
Facial moisturizers are the super secret ninja move. They are the image of this whole operation. Lube your face directly after the shower, it will help retain water and rid that “I’m so freaking hung-over” look.
Visine: “It gets the red out”
The eyes tell everything…If they are tomato red and falling out of your head, than you’re probably hung-over. Pop in Visine really quick before getting out of the car. The clearness will at least make you appear awake.
Advil not Tylenol
Tylenol reacts funny with alcohol still left in the body. Advil or Ibuprofen is the best bet. Personally, we prefer the hard stuff, but you need prescriptions for that.
Skip the Coffee
Coffee is a double edge sword. You must wake up to fake not being hung-over, but caffeine dries out the body. Only go for 1-2 cups of coffee max. Anything over that set’s your body up for disaster. Last thing you want is to face-plant from a caffeine crash.
Travel Size Listerine
Keep a travel size Listerine at your desk. If you’re computer screen begins to melt, use it. Thanks for playing…
Eat Breakfast
Did you drink dinner? We applaud your awesomeness! While greasy fast food screams your name, avoid it like creepy truck drivers. It makes you sluggish and wanting to crawl under your desk into a fetal position. Eat light such as toast or an egg sandwich. Wait for lunch to pig out.
Ninja Move #2: Keep a Sleeping Bag in the Car
This is the ultimate ninja move. Keep a sleeping bag and pillow in your car. Once lunch hits, drive to a remote parking lot and crash for an hour. The nap will gives you extra energy to push through corporate stardom. Keep this one a secret from your coworkers.
Last Resort: Call in Sick
Michael Jordan got cut, Frazier went down, and now Tiger Woods sucks. Even the best in the world gets beat. You have sick days, burn one! Better than explaining 136 mistakes on your TPS reports because you stayed out until 3am crushing Jager Bombs…
