Tell your boss – Germany rules hangovers are an official ‘illness’




It’s good news for those of you who suffer from horrendous hangovers after a few too many drinks the night before.

If you like the party, like we all do from time to time, letting your hair down can get in the way of actual life sometimes, in particular getting out of bed for the work the next morning.

Well, it’s time to tell your boss to shove it, not literally of course! You need to sit your boss down and read them this article out loud so that YOU can get a few deserved days off work for having an illness known as a hangover!

A German court has passed down an historic ruling in which hangovers are now classed as an illness.

The ruling comes after the makers of a so called anti-hangover drink were brought to court in Frankfurt, over illegal claims about their products.

According to reports in Germany, the court issued the ruling that declared any slight changes in the human body’s normal state is deemed an illness.

The ruling which classed changes such as headaches, tiredness and nausea as a illness has now forbid any such anti-hangover products from being able to claim their product cures hangovers.

Under the new ruling such products cannot ascribe to cure or prevent such illnesses nor can they give the impression that they work to treat such an illness.
