There's nothing worse than trying to battle through a day at work when you have a hangover. Trying to pretend to be productive whilst hiding the fact you need be horizontal on the sofa/head in the toilet does not a fun day make.
While it's all well and good pulling the dodgy stomach card and attempting a sickie, the majority of the time your boss is likely to see straight through it - especially when you spent the previous day waxing lyrical about how excited you were for those happy hour cocktails.

However, this is not even a worry for the staff at DICE, a London-based ticketing firm, because they are entitled to 'hangover days'. Yep, you read that right.

Apparently last year 137 million working days were lost due to sickness, with the average person taking four days off sick, The Evening Standard reported.
