High performers and other so-called successful people rarely talk about hangovers.

Have they reached some superhuman level where they are impervious to the effects of excess? Of course not. Aside from those who abstain entirely, most simply don’t talk about it. It’s likely a public image thing — or it’s just not that interesting.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

From authors and podcasters to tech founders and CEOs, they all have occasional nights where drinks are flowing. And after the hangover passes, they get back at it and keep doing what they do best.

So unless it’s a regular occurrence, don’t be so hard on yourself when you have an off day because you had a big night.

We’re all human.
