There was medicine to neutralize the harmful effects of alcohol?

After jubilant drinks, what is the thing that scares you the most? It is the headaches like hammering and the feeling of dry throat.

Yunfeng Lu - a professor of chemical engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA (and claiming to be an alcoholic), is trying to find solutions to the negative effects of alcohol. And tests in experimental mice are showing very promising results.

The tablet Lu studied contained full of natural enzymes commonly found in liver cells, helping the body process alcohol faster.

Not only does it help relieve headaches such as hammering and dry throat, it can also be used to treat alcohol poisoning.

To test the drug, Professor Lu and his colleagues first made a lot of drunken mice. Then they treat them. Result? Blood levels in these mice were reduced by 45% within 4 hours compared to untreated children.

Of course, mice rarely complain about excessive headaches, but Lu found that acetaldehyde levels - a toxic compound that causes cancer, causes headaches and vomiting, causing people to blush after Drinking alcohol and being produced during normal alcohol metabolism - remains extremely low.

However, Professor Lu's advice is "Don't get drunk". His research aims to help hospitals, not to promote the "weekend warriors".

Professor Lu and his team are checking to make sure there are no dangerous side effects from this treatment. If that goes well, human trials will begin in about a year.

Preventing headaches due to cup drinking is a lucrative business for some companies. In some places there are even drinks, costumes and even alcohol that do not cause headaches. Even so, the results of all this are still controversial.
