Happy Friday.


DRINK UP TO BEAT HANGOVERS

It's the dream of everybody who likes a drink but hates themselves the morning after.

Experts are working on hangover-free drinks that will get you merry, but with no regrets. Psycho-pharmacologist David Nutt, from the University of Bristol in Britain, says the cocktails would be designed to mimic the pleasurable effects of alcohol without the downsides.

They would allow people to get merry but not legless, wake without a hangover, and avoid effects such as nausea, memory loss, depression and aggression. Nor would they damage the liver, as alcohol does.

The idea is only on the drawing board, but there is no reason why such drinks could not be made now using existing know-how, according to Professor Nutt.
