Scientists develop hangover-free booze

I think the thought of a bad hangover deters most from getting right smashed. This invention might promote more drinking. Exactly what I was thinking. But if it also shortens the amount of time you're drunk for then it will probably balance out with people who would have done stupid things whilst drunk, not being as drunk (or at all). I don't think people will purposely drink more knowing that they'll not be drunk as long, because firstly you'll still be as drunk, and secondly being drunk seems to last for far too long anyway.

But they have a limit, and usually stop drinking by 2a... [More]
