-- caffeine -- -- that's -- -- the age old hangover -- you have a cup of coffee -- an aspirin right but I have a problem with that.

What is -- hangover hangovers occur as the alcohol wears off you get impurities you get inflammatory chemicals and you get dehydrated.

-- -- a lot that's a lot that's a -- to these -- and they're hiding it behind behind the marketing blowfish -- or new -- And I'm concerned some people can have bleeding problems you don't want him to have -- caffeine.

Caffeine treats them the ways that comes with a hang but the problem is that caffeine makes you racing in -- I've already irritated by.

-- -- the last thing you need to be as racy I have got this by talks patched well -- -- is got vitamins and.

And there was one study that showed that actually taking a lot of vitamin B six F do you drink can actually help.

Is actually gonna work when you wake up the next morning and you stick that patch -- you think -- now I can drink anything I want.

But the reality is that it's not been proven scientifically to work -- -- have a -- the -- will carry the dogs solution.

Just going to wake up in the morning have bloody Marion if you -- but do you already -- to me about this before and you gave me my answer hair of the dog works the problem is -- could does the alcohol wears off the hangover comes in.

And again it's it would actually it's the -- the impurities to you can delay the inevitable as usually drinking you know don't want -- -- dock.

Perfect but you you're not encouraging people to do that now I'm getting is then -- would -- later in the day and they haven't even worse hangover and they -- the -- I talk about.

Drinking a glass of water one hand and the alcohol and the other.

If you drink more water and you -- When you're drinking you're gonna have his -- to hang over the there are here's a great here's a brick -- just on thanks so much.

That's a great -- And do not -- and do not have -- -- a doctor always a pleasure to see you doing a great decision RIT.
