New 'gold' pill that could spell the end of hangovers: It sounds too good to be true, but scientists may have finally uncovered a way to enjoy alcohol without ANY harmful side-effects

Daily Mail  

You might well think that it sounds too good to be true – a pill that means you can enjoy alcohol without suffering any harmful side-effects. Scientists mixed together three ingredients – iron, glucose and gold – which they found can trigger a reaction in the gut that quickly breaks down the alcohol and makes it into acetic acid. ‘The gel might be of some help to those who are unable to cut back on alcohol, as it might be able to reduce intoxication and alcohol-related damage,’ he says. It is thought the drug works in a similar way as for obesity – dampening down the ‘reward’ hit the brain gets when alcohol is consumed, so reducing the urge to keep drinking.
