Earlier, on December 26, it was reported that most hangover remedies only partially alleviate symptoms and do not eliminate the harmful effects of alcohol on the heart, liver and brain. Experts have warned that using painkillers, caffeine, or energy drinks with alcohol can increase the strain on the body, and a complete abstinence from alcohol remains a reliable way to avoid a hangover.
