Hangovers to soon become history
Drugs scientist and Imperial College Professor, David Nutt has created the aptly named ‘alcosynth’, which is designed to mirror the effects of alcohol minus the throbbing headache.
Hold up to all the cocktail lovers, hangover-free cocktails are soon coming to you. A group of scientists have created a drink that mirrors the effects of regular alcohol minus, the dreaded part ‘hangover’.
We all know very well the consequences associated with a big night of drinking from the unbearable headache to dry mouth to uneasy stomach and general feeling of self-pity. No one wants to have a hangover, although not drinking is also not in their option.
In fact, people will go to any extend to avoid one. Cures range from the obvious like drinking plenty of water and popping a couple of aspirin before bed to eating prickly pear cactus, throwing back some activated charcoal and having sex.
But navigating your way through the ever-growing list of miracle hangover cures may be a thing of the past, with the invention of a new synthetic alcohol that eliminates the risk of a hangover all together.
Drugs scientist and Imperial College Professor, David Nutt has created the aptly named ‘alcosynth’, which is designed to mirror the effects of alcohol minus the throbbing headache. According to Professor Nutt, he has plans to roll out alcosynth in over one hundred cocktail bars by 2020, reports news.com.au.
Over the decade, his team has been experimenting with approximately 80 different substances that imitate the way alcohol works on the brain but pose less of a health risk.
