We're now on the other side of Mad Friday 2022 - and while you're bound to have had fun on the biggest night out of the year, you won't be alone in feeling anxious and regretful this morning if you've had a lot to drink. It's been the first year in a long time that friends will have been able to blow off steam and celebrate Christmas.
Previous years saw plans scuppered due to coronavirus lockdown rules and when we thought we had seen the worst of it, last year's rapid surge of the Omicron variant deterred some partygoers from heading out. This year's Mad Friday fell on December 16, according to Google, however technically with Christmas Eve being next Saturday, some might opt to party hard even closer to the festive holiday on December 23.
Whenever and wherever you decide to mark the holiday - whether that's at home or down your local boozer - with Christmas just around the corner, for many it means more time spent drinking alcohol. But regardless of the season, alcohol drinkers will know what it's like to wake up the next day with 'the fear'.
