Scientists Discover Booze That Won't Give You a Hangover

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday March 2, 2010 @06:58AM from the go-ahead-and-have-another dept.

Kwang-il Kwon and Hye Gwang Jeong of Chungnam National University have discovered that drinking alcohol with oxygen bubbles added leads to fewer hangovers and a shorter sobering up time. People drinking the bubbly booze sobered up 20-30 minutes faster and had less severe and fewer hangovers than people who drank the non-fizzy stuff. Kwon said: "The oxygen-enriched alcohol beverage reduces plasma alcohol concentrations faster than a normal dissolved-oxygen alcohol beverage does. This could provide both clinical and real-life significance. The oxygen-enriched alcohol beverage would allow individuals to become sober faster, and reduce the side effects of acetaldehyde without a significant difference in alcohol's effects. Furthermore, the reduced time to a lower BAC may reduce alcohol-related accidents."

But will it let me light my belches? by GungaDan · 2010-03-02 08:40 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Lighting farts is an art form, complete with shart danger. Lighting a belch seems like it would be much more socially acceptable. How much oxygen would I need to infuse into my beer to make a belch inflammable?
