The caffeine content present in coffee adds to the anti-inflammatory ingredients of aspirin found to combat the chemical compounds of alcohol.

Consumption of alcohol results in headaches due to the production of chemical acetates, causing more severe headaches in some people as compared to others.

“One of the major causes of hangovers is a chemical called acetate, a by-product of how the body processes alcohol. Caffeine and certain types of painkiller block its effects. And the best time to take them would be about four hours after drinking," Prof Oshinsky said.
