A member asked:

How do i overcome sleepiness after wine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. R Sangal answered

Caffeine: A glass of wine should not cause sleepiness, but it may uncover sleepiness in a sleepy person. Several glasses of wine can cause sleepiness, but the resultant sleep is interrupted sleep. Caffeine can partially reverse the sleepiness after wine.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
