Do you ever find yourself bored with your go-to booze? When you’ve grown tired of that mundane drink order, we’ll be here to talk you through what’s new and noteworthy this week…
Knowing when you’ve had enough- I think most of us can say that at some point in our lives we wished there was some sort of device that could tell us when we’ve had enough to drink. We’ve all accidentally gone overboard on the drinking. Well, the solution is here and it’s coming out just in time for the holiday. Skyn from BACtrack has a wristband that detects ethanol molecules coming out of your skin and sends it as a report to your phone through Bluetooth). So basically it will tell you when to put down that bottle of Pinot and call it a night.
“Hoppy” beer means happy liver- Beer contains hops that add flavor to it and diminishes the negative effects alcohol has on the liver. This is what a new study on mice has recently discovered. Compared to beer without hops and plain alcohol, the mice that ingested beer with hops accumulated less fat in their livers.
Hangover-free alcohol might just be a thing- We saved the best for last! By 2050, hangover-free alcohol could replace all regular alcohol thanks to a beverage called Alcosnyth. The drink has the same positive effects that alcohol does but without the nausea and headaches.
