The 20 Stages Of A Hangover As Told By Stranger Things

Stranger Things is a glorious show, and we couldn’t be more excited about season three arriving on Netflix. One thing the show is not, however, is good hangover viewing.

That’s got nothing to do with its gruesomeness, but more the fact that it mimics the fragile situations we often find ourselves in of a weekend.

Here’s the stages of a hangover, as told by the show....

1. When you wake up not even knowing your own name

2. When you realise you’ve already slept through the brunch date you arranged with your parents

3. When you have to do the walk of shame

4. When the fear then begins to creep in

5. Then come the flashbacks

6. When you decide to call for reassurance

7. When your mates start filling in the blanks

8. But they just don’t understand the dark, dark place you are in at that moment

9. When you then actually feel worse for having called them

10. When you begin the hunt for your missing dignity

11. When you can no longer ignore the alcohol fumes that are seeping out of every pore

12. When you take a 30-minute shower hoping the water will wash away all the shame

13. When you text that person from Tinder to apologise for the onslaught of drunken messages you left them the night before

14. When you ask your housemates to just hold you gently and quietly

15. When you raid the house for anything and everything to make you feel more human

16. When the Dominos delivery man arrives with your family meal deal you intend on eating just for one

17. When you then regret eating a large pizza, two sides and a drinking whole bottle of Fanta

18. When someone suggests a hair of the dog

19. But then you come round to their way of thinking

20. And before you know it, you’re out again

Stranger Things 3 arrives on Netflix on 4 July.
