- Heywoodj, on 01/04/2009, -1/+39Where are the clinical trials for this? Count me in. I promise I'll show up hungover.
- XenoSNK, on 01/05/2009, -0/+31Digg: finding the cure cancer, AIDS, and now, hangovers, bimonthly.
- Spawn2105, on 01/04/2009, -4/+34Tbh i welcome the hangovers. Reminds me to not do stupid ***** for a while at least
- bobhiggins, on 01/04/2009, -1/+29Oh please, clear this for public consumption quickly, I am so hung over.
- sfhock, on 01/04/2009, -2/+20the tagline of the article is a bit misleading.. once you have a hangover it's too late for this drug to do anything, since the alcohol that caused it is no longer in your bloodstream. They mention that this drug may be able to eliminate alcohol from the bloodstream, so yes, no hangover.. but no buzz either!
- scyphozoa, on 01/05/2009, -1/+12its remarkable that a poison cleanser is promoted as a hang-over remedy. isn't anyone else impressed that blood poisoning is being dealt a serious blow by this advancement? poison isn't a huge deal for us, but i've definitely heard of soldiers/people being stuck with dirty syringes, this at least will save lives.
- saranagati, on 01/05/2009, -0/+11The water before bed only works in theory. In reality i don't even remember how i got home the night before so there's not much chance of me remembering to drink some water before i go to sleep.
- Myonosken, on 01/05/2009, -0/+8YEAH ROCK ON.
***** of kid, you're making yourself look an idiot. Its more likely to be the 17 year old virgins who reckon getting totally ***** is TOTALLY ***** AWESOME MAN. - boardthis, on 01/05/2009, -0/+8cool, now that the hangover problem is cured, scientists have plenty of time to research why that girl in my bed is still there when i wake up the next morning.
- DirtyVicar, on 01/05/2009, -0/+6I'll check back in 2037 and see how they're coming along with this.
- xaeon, on 01/05/2009, -2/+8Someone call the waaahmbulance.
- sheeplescareme, on 01/05/2009, -3/+8i've had maybe three or four hangovers. if i got them more often, i would never drink at all.
- groo68, on 01/05/2009, -3/+8Just drink three glasses of water or more when drunk and when you wake up you shouldnt have a hang over.
- elliotys, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5It seems that were up to at least one article a week about hang-over cures.
Alcoholism FTW!!! - wfmk, on 01/04/2009, -0/+5Trust the Scots to come up with a cure. No more deep-fried Mars bars, then.
- Psukhe, on 01/05/2009, -2/+7We already have something for this,
It's called Marijuana. - suprememilo, on 01/05/2009, -3/+8This is a pretty ineresting article, and I am glad it is on digg.
- Medicamusic, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5actually the alcohol produces chemicals from its breakdown that reek havoc on your nervous system (the hang over). The chemicals it produces are toxins, which this new chemical will eliminate.
- akchrs, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5This is great news for people who have to drink for a living.
- benologist, on 01/05/2009, -2/+7Why attack him? The sooner these people ***** off the better.... content will have to compete on it's own merit instead of the current situation which makes 99% of users, our votes and our submissions irrelevant.
All our voting actually does is decide which of the people gaming digg will be front paged next, nobody else can even get in the race. - oboshoe, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Naturally.
But since the article and comments are talking about possible hangover medications, I thought that tidbit was relevant, even if ill advised. - ledguitar, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Best hangover cure I've found.
- saranagati, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4i was thinking it would free up some researches to discover more medications to prolong erections and cure baldness.
- T8erT0T, on 01/05/2009, -1/+5Vote for Telegraph
- shniper, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Try drinking more than 2 Daquiri's then.
- Pfkninenines, on 01/04/2009, -3/+7Cool for those who hate hangovers, but eventually people will just become massive alcoholics, never having to deal with any downside to their actions.
On the plus side, it's a great time to invest in a company like this. Depression means massive drinking, massive hangovers. - ledguitar, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4At least a girl goes to bed with you at night..
- bunghole999, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3You might have a low tolerance. If it only takes 2 to 3 beers or 2 drinks to make you happy, you won't have a hangover...
- Dr3w, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4I thought hangovers were the body's response to massive dehydration? Masking the symptoms would probably only end up causing more extensive damage.
- MeatyMcBeef, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3Dude you posted this at like 4PM....you're just like my brother...
- sq2shooter, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4No it can't. Hangovers are not caused by alcohol in your bloodstream.
- alittleroy101, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3But then the chick gets ugly again.
- ZincSaucier, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3believe me. if a hangover is the worst consequence of your drinking, you aren't an alcoholic yet
- quomen, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4You're the loser leaving him the comment on digg.
- ZincSaucier, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3Never having to show up to work barely able to carry my head would be nice
- badmephisto, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2I would remain quite skeptical.
- britblogger, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2"rendering it ineffective within three minutes, the time it takes the blood to circulate round the body."
blood takes around one minute to circulate, give or take a few seconds depending on resting rate, size of heart/body, etc. I think it's important that an article pertaining to science should be a little more accurate given the internet audience. - mattearle, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2Well done for understanding this. However this drug is not a cure for hangovers at all, it only works specifically on muscle relaxants. The concept could be interesting if applied to eliminating hangovers but that would be a separate drug designed to bind to the specific toxins causing the hangover.
- EagleRufio, on 01/05/2009, -1/+3I love how the only thing people are excited about is the curing hangovers part, not the "could save thousands of lives" part
- cecilgol, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2Actually neither of these are true. The Methanol in booze is what gets you drunk, and you're able to get drunk off it cause it is easiest to metabolize into the blood stream. The other component of alcohol (and the one that ends up giving you a hangover) is Ethanal. Ethanal is NOT a brain intoxicant, but it sure does feel like ass in your body. This product could cause the Ethanal to not interact with the body, but pass out like the water science suggests you should drink after a night of heavy intoxication.
- bunghole999, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2You said you had a minor headache after about 7 drinks with probably 2-3 shots of vodka in each??? Whoa !!! Perhaps you are blessed. Even I would have a hangover after all that !!!!!!!
- sabster, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2I hope this comes out.. then I can finally drink the night before 8ams
- siobhankeogh, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2It's not just dehydration, it's dehydration + poison. This would deal with the poison part.
- oboshoe, on 01/05/2009, -1/+3Imitrex is actually a fantastic cure for a hangover. Cures any hangover in about 20 minutes.
Its prescribed for migraines.
A physician friend told me about this. Told me its illegal for him to prescribe it for hangovers, but quite legal to prescribe it for migraines. - yunfat, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2Heh... lets say you could take this and in 3 minutes be sober, after consuming alcohol until you reach a drunken state. These scientists should know that D.U.I. is a 300 billion dollar a year business in the US alone, and that their lives are in danger if they propose to carry out any endeavor which attempts to neutralize alcohol in the bloodstream.
It's a cash cow with many powerful and violent friends. - inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2I always promise that.
- attercob, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2If this idea can be used to make something that will latch on to the by products of alcohol metabolization then it would be instant hangover removal. But what if it could also latch onto alcohol? It would be able to make to instantly sober. You could go out with friends, get wasted and then when it's time to go home, the "designated driver" would just have to pop a pill and wait 10 minutes before he was ready to drive. Or if you got wasted, picked up a chick and are taking her home, you can pop a pill so that by the time the two of you are alone you won't have "alcohol induced floppy noodle syndrome."
- oboshoe, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2I get a hangover with even one beer.
Its why I rarely drink. - inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2 A 32oz gatorade and a multivitamin before bed is all you need. The reason I suggest gatorade and not water is because gatorade tastes better and it's easier to drink a lot of it.
