Why You Should Never Have Coffee If Hungover

There are people who combine coffee and alcohol and think that they will somehow cancel each other out as one is a sedative and the other a stimulant.

In fact all the research shows that it is actively a bad idea to combine the two of these.

If you have coffee after alcohol it can actually be dangerous, because it can try to get your brain in gear to do things like driving which you should never, ever do when you are under the influence of alcohol under any circumstances.

Therefore it is clearly not a good idea to combine coffee and alcohol quite apart from the fact that when you've got all that alcohol pumping through your system you don't want to have that combined with caffeine as well.
 
So don't try to use use coffee to sober up - stick to plain old glasses of water for best effect.
