Could This Hangover Be Your Last One Thanks To Science?

Let's face it, we're both going to be hungover over the weekend and feel like shit, regretting drinking those drinks we drunk and things we said and dumb stuff we did - and the banging headache, existential dread and indefatigable paranoia won't do anything to help.

But according to the Independent, hangovers could soon be a thing of the past, and by 2050 all alcohol will be hangover free.

A new synthetic form of booze - called 'alcosynth' - aims to imitate the positive sides of drinking but apparently doesn't have as many of the side effects.

This new breakthrough is being championed by Professor David Nutt, a former Government adviser on drugs.

He told the Independent: "It will be there alongside the scotch and the gin, they'll dispense the alcosynth into your cocktail and then you'll have the pleasure without damaging your liver and your heart.

"They go very nicely into mojitos. They even go into something as clear as a Tom Collins. One is pretty tasteless, the other has a bitter taste."

Apparently the synthetic booze has the same effects as conventional alcohol, but stops you getting too pissed, as its influence on you peaks at five drinks.

Around 90 versions of 'alcosynth' have been patented, of which two are set for widespread use.

"People want healthier drinks," Professor Nutt added. "The drinks industry knows that by 2050 alcohol will be gone."

This new booze better be decent if so.
