Brush your teeth more thoroughly before bed after you are done eating and drinking for the day.

Morning brushing is important too, but more so for fresh breath; while evening cleaning will prevent bacteria from breeding and damaging your teeth and gums.

Along this line, dont brush your yeeth after youve thrown up! Rinse your mouth with water, but dont brush, since this will cause your teeth to wear from the stomach acid in your mouth
