Scientist Created A New Alcohol That Gets You Hammered Without Getting Hungover

Here is how most mornings go after a night of drinking: You down a bottle of aspirin, kick some girl out of bed, grab the nearest Gatorade and/or beer, and cure the pounding headache that is your hangover. Rinse and repeat every day, seven days a week. Now science wants to go and eliminate the aspirin step and just straight up take out the hangover completely.

One U.K. scientist created an alcohol that is meant to do just that.

From First We Feast:

Now a neuropharmacology professor at Imperial College London, Nutt has done research and development on two separate drugs; one is a non-toxic drink that makes you feel tipsy without experiencing the negative side effects of alcohol (including hangovers, liver toxicity, aggression, and loss of control). The second is a pill that reduces the hangover that results from real alcohol if taken simultaneously with your turn up.

I’m all about efficiency, so I’m passing on drug number two. If you give me something that gets me drunk without the hangover, why would I need a pill to reduce a hangover? Let’s forget drug number two and dive deeper into what’s behind door number one. It goes by the name alcosynth. Your liver will thank you since it is not toxic. Your friends will thank you for not being the angry drunk who tries to fight with anyone at the bar for looking at you the wrong way. More importantly, you’ll be able to drink yourself into oblivion without any health side effects.

Unfortunately, these drugs are only in the early stages of development, but it’s a win nonetheless for us heavy drinkers.

Fucking science, man. Some cool ass shit.

    But the hangover is just a reminder of how good last night was. I’ll stick to old fashioned booze. Besides, how am I going to play drinking games with pills?

    I thought they did this? Or does the beer that is also hydrating not count now.

    It makes you feel tipsy, but does it make you feel blacked out is the real question

    Not to be real, but think about how expensive it will be. if the price is around that of beer, hit me up.

    I’ll go ahead and add this to the list of things TFM got our hopes up for, only to smash them back down a month later(I’m looking at you, Palcohol).

    The best part is the scientist’s name is Nutt and if the naming of drugs after their creator follows code… Nutting will have a whole new meaning. Mind blown.
