Default Good idea, but, professor Nutt????

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 ИИИИtails 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.

Thats the part i dont like.

And a bit of memory loss is normally good, or something as i call "selective memory loss". I tend to forget things i wanna forget *shudders* or if i said something or did something that i shouldnt have. These new ceck-tails will stuff it all up!
