The fact that a cup of strong coffee saves from a hangover is known to every adult person who at least once had to face the consequences of drinking alcoholic beverages. Recent studies by Scandinavian scientists have confirmed a very popular opinion in society: coffee is really capable of bringing a person to life and removing the symptoms of hangover syndrome.
Specialists from Finland managed to establish that strong coffee actually has an invigorating and restoring effect on the weakened human body. However, to achieve the desired effect, an adult should drink at least 4-5 cups of a strong drink. Doctors said that to eliminate hangover an adult person should drink at least 4-5 cups of strong coffee throughout the day. According to experts, just such a quantity of a drink is necessary in order to improve the general condition of the body, avoid alcohol intoxication and cheer up. In addition, some scientists believe that coffee can improve the appearance after the party: only one cup of the drink will remove bags under the eyes, bruises, will return vivacity and a clear look.
Specialists from the University of Tampere (Finland) reported that if a sufficient dose of caffeine regularly enters the human body, then the possibility of eliminating alcoholic toxins from the body is significantly increased. In that case. If an adult drinks about 4-5 cups of strong fresh coffee throughout the day, the amount of damage to the internal organs of the digestive system is reduced. Substances that are contained in coffee, can destroy harmful to the body enzymes that damage the liver and pancreas, and later - causing diseases of the cardiovascular system. Coffee has a special effect on the male body.

Medicine knows that after consuming a large amount of alcoholic beverages in the human body, an enzyme GGT is formed that can cause dangerous diseases of internal organs, digestive and cardiovascular system. When the amount of alcohol in the human body exceeds the norm, in the absorbent and secretory organs (liver, kidneys), the above-mentioned enzyme, which has a destructive effect, begins to be released. The most susceptible to the harmful effect of the enzyme are those people who suffer from chronic diseases of the digestive system. If a person has abnormalities in kidneys, pancreas, the concentration of GGT enzyme is markedly increased.
For several months, physicians from Finland examined and interviewed more than 19,000 adults. The study showed that strong coffee significantly reduces the level of the GGT enzyme. The participants of the experiment informed the doctors about the amount of alcohol and coffee they consumed, they measured the GGT level and took general blood tests. The analysis of the obtained data confirmed the fact that frequent use of alcoholic beverages (for example, 4 bottles of wine weekly) causes an increase in the level of the GGT enzyme in the body. Strong coffee can provide the opposite effect: the use of 4-5 cups of strong drink can lead to an unsafe level for the body.
