MANY of us are familiar with the consequences associated with a big
night of drinking.- headache
- dry mouth
- uneasy stomach
- general feeling of self-pity
Everyone has a "Cure" that works for them, anything from drinking a pint of water before going to bed to a greasy fry up in the morning.
However these rituals may become a thing of th past thanks to the invention of a new synthetic alcohol that eliminates the risk of a hangover all together.
The synthetic alcohol 'alcosynth' was created by David Nutt, a Drugs scientist and Imperial College Professor. Alcosynth is designed to mirror the effects of alcohol minus the throbbing headache. Its also designed to carry less health risks.
In an interview with The Times, Professor Nutt said that he has plans to roll out alcosynth in over one hundred cocktail bars by 2020.
Professor Nutt and his team are trying to raise $11.8 million (£7 million) to fund the final round of safety checks to ensure that the product is fit for human consumption before it can be put forward to be sold to the public.
Professor Nutt has hopes that alcosynth will be able to replace all regular alcohol by 2050.
"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," he told The Independent.
"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."
