“Well, first of all, handle my goma, you should drink a lot of water before you go to sleep at night. Lots, lots and lots of water; that’s it.”

Dr. Francis Smith

“But then there is also the complication of vomits and nausea, so you might want to take something for gastrointestinal disorders like Maxolon or just antacids If you have to go to work, pack up on caffeine, drink a lot of coffee, but if not the best thing is to try to go to sleep.”

Dr. Bernard Bulwer

“We all know that people should not be drinking on an empty stomach. They are some people who say a gram or more of vitamin C and some B complex vitamins may cut down on the hangover effect.
