End of hangovers?

If this drug does indeed do what it says on the tin, then it is nothing sort of a find comparable to the Philosopher’s stone. Apparently it allows you to drink alcohol without suffering any ill effects from hangover –though you might look a bit susceptible popping a pill or two after each drink.

The story behind the miracle medicine is about as far-fetched as possible, too: Allegedly, Russian scientists developed the drug for KGB agents so they could as much as they wanted and still be able to function in the morning.

RU-21 is due to be launched in UK this month with massive advertising campaign, though it will not be allowed to make a claim of curing hangovers until clinically proven to work.
