Hangovers come in all shapes and sizes, from the mildly uncomfortable to the life threatening. Unfortunately for the people on this list, powerful hangover relief formulas have not been around forever, or they might have faired a little better. Here’s a list of some of the worst hangovers in film history:
The Hangover
Where to start? The missing groom, the missing tooth, the shotgun wedding and Mike Tyson’s tiger… definitely a situation you are going to want to avoid on a hangover.
Die Hard With A Vengeance
What’s worse than having to sit at your desk hungover for 8 hours, pretending to do work? That’s right, waking up from a huge bender and having to eliminate a terrorist cell who plan to set off multiple bombs across New York.
Knocked Up
After an alcohol-fuelled one-night-stand, the best thing for everyone to do is shake hands and part ways, never to be seen again. Not stay for a truly awkward breakfast with the the extended family. Oh, and there’s a baby on the way in 9 months.
Anchorman
The Channel 5 company party has the news team looking a little worse for wear. The prize for worse hangover of the bunch probably goes to Champ, the sports reporter: “I woke up on the floor of a Japanese families rec room, and they would not stop screaming.” Nightmare.
Old School
3 grown men attempt to relive their best years and start a college frat. Mitch, played by Luke Wilson, wakes up after a heavy night to discover he’s had a 1- night-stand with a gorgeous blonde. So far so good, right? Until he discovers the girl is actually in high-school and is in fact his boss’ daughter. Not good.
Bridesmaids
After getting drunk on a flight and getting the whole hen party booted off the plane, Annie wakes up on the bus trip home knowing she’s ruined the hen party and promptly gets dumped as maid of honour. As if being on a bus hungover wasn’t bad enough already.
Bridget Jones Diary
We’ve all experienced this one. You’re home for Christmas and you’ve went a little overboard the night before. You get woken up by your Mom who orders you to put on your glad rags and come downstairs to entertain all your distant relatives, who are coming over for the big Christmas party. Hangover hell.
Get Him To The Greek
After a very, very heavy night out with a famous rock star, the last thing who want to be responsible for is dragging said rock star around to multiple appointments and flights. The darkest moment for Jonah Hill’s character probably comes when he vomits on himself in a taxi on the way to a morning talk show.
School Of Rock
I think we can all agree that possibly the worst place on earth to find yourself with a banging hangover is a classroom full of screaming kids.
Project X
After their small impromptu gathering morphs into the party to end all parties, 3 high-school friends wake up the next morning trying to explain to their parents why the neighbourhood is ablaze. As if angry, shouty parents wasn’t enough on a heavy hangover, The boys also lose their college funds and clean criminal records. Ouch. At least their street cred skyrocketed though, so you know, silver linings and all that.
This Is The End
Being desperately hungover during a world ending alien invasion does not sound ideal. Makes ever hangover you’ve had pale in insignificance to be honest. Well, there you have it. A list poor souls who would have been saved from the horrors outlined if they had just tried to get their hands on a powerful, fast acting hangover relief.
