In my experience, there are three types:

  • Alive and well, as here - they are up at 6am, clearing up, making breakfast, rolling other people out of the way to vacuum etc.
  • Still hungover, as here - the ones being rolled out of the way etc
  • Still partying - arrive at 6:am straight from another party, hoovering up leftover pizza, talking at both the above types and keen not to stop the party until Jan 2nd at the earliest.

Fourth: not jumping up out of bed early, not because we’re hungover, but because it’s a holiday and an excuse to relax—we didn’t even drink last night, nor go out. We were up until 2, but just hanging out at home.

Fifth: coke heads

Sixth: people who fell asleep at 11p and woke up and acted like today is any other day

Seventh: people who were forced to continue working and had to go to work

…point is, I think there are maybe a few more than two types of people lol

#6, except 9pm. getting shitfaced enough to make all the bad decisions before blacking out at dawn loses its luster after your 20s. by your 40s you're just done with all that nonsense

Ninth: mole people, concept of time isn't based on celestial bodies, this moment is merely another moment like all other moments in the space between birth and death.

Tenth: crab people, no concept of time, the inevitability of convergence makes time meaningless and the great crustacean dominion infinite.

Am in my mid-forties and not done with that nonsense, nor did it lose its luster.

Another type- me who still did this in last night, in my 40s

Fourth: awake, not hung over, not really very happy to be awake, drinking coffee and waiting for their minds to activate.

This fails to account for the people who didn't consume drugs or alcohol, didn't do much at all and might even have gone to bed early, and yet woke up, probably as they usually do, hating mornings and looking hungover anyway.

I wish I still had the energy to be in the 3rd group, but no I'm a ghoul in the 2nd hangover league

I have a newborn, I am technically alive. I am not hungover.

Eighteen year hangovers are the worst.

I'm neither of these people.

Cultures that celebrate New Year on a different day.

hungover

You can leave the hyphen in there. It stays correct that way too.
