Yes, Hangover-free alcohol exists

Dreams do come true.

Cast your mind back to last Sunday morning, as you peeled yourself out of bed around midday, cursing the day you ever heard the word margarita and declaring that youโ€™ll never drink again.

Well, what if we told you you could have the margaritas, minus the hangover? Too good to be true, youโ€™d say? Stop teasing us, youโ€™d beg?

A British scientist claims to have invented a miracle booze which he calls โ€˜alcosynthโ€™ and which he says gets you merry, but without the pesky hangover.

While itโ€™s a little way off being available from your local bottlo, this is still a major breakthrough for all us mere mortals who dared to dream.

โ€œIt will be there alongside the scotch and the gin, theyโ€™ll dispense the alcosynth into your cocktail and then youโ€™ll have the pleasure without damaging your liver and your heart,โ€ Dr. David Nutt, an Imperial College Professor, told The Independent

โ€œThey go very nicely into mojitos. They even go into something as clear as a Tom Collins. One is pretty tasteless and the other has a bitter taste,โ€ he added.

Professor Nutt previously courted controversy for a study he did which claimed that ecstasy and LSD were less harmful than alcohol and could be used in the treatment of depression and was relieved from his position as Britainโ€™s chief drugs advisor in 2009.

While his latest finding is still being โ€œrigorously testedโ€, he says if successful, alcosynth could completely replace normal alcohol by 2050.

34 years and weโ€™ll be READY, but we guess itโ€™s business as usual until thenโ€ฆ
