Drink All You Want & Stay Sober With This New Pill

By Yi Chen on October 4, 2011


Researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia have discovered a pill that won’t let alcohol consumption effect the brain. What that essentially means is that heavy drinkers can drink as much as they like and still remain sober. The pill is currently being tested on lab rats and results have been impressive. The scientists have found that the mice on the pill didn’t become intoxicated after being injected with alcohol. Lead researcher, Mark Hutchinson commented that:

When a mouse gets drunk, it is quite similar to a human that’s drunk. It can’t work it motor coordination properly.

The pill could be approved in as little as three or four years. Susan Weiss from the National Institute on Drug Abuse stated that this sober pill might be a promising start in finding medicine for drug addiction and pain relief.
