Seems too good to be true.

quote:

A new type of synthetic alcohol has been discovered which could allow people to enjoy the sociable effects of a few pints, but skip the hangover that usually follows.

The new drink, known as 'alcosynth', is designed to mimic the positive effects of alcohol but doesn’t cause a dry mouth, nausea and a throbbing head, according to its creator Professor David Nutt.

The Imperial College Professor and former government drugs advisor told The Independent he has patented around 90 different alcosynth compounds.

Two of them are now being rigorously tested for widespread use, he said – and by 2050, he hopes alcosynth could completely replace normal alcohol.

Why the frick would this take 30+ years to figure out. I'm quite sure there are thousands of bums that would be willing to be guinea pigs for this substance and we could know within 2 weeks.

Seems legit. Just like synthetic weed, create a Frankenstein version of it only to find out it's worse than the real thing.

Yeah, doesn't make much sense.

So, it sounds like quaaludes.

Thanks, but I'll stick to beer and wine and the occasional bourbon or scotch.
