Non-Alcoholic and Healthy Drink That Tastes Like Alcohol May Be Sold in the Market in Two Years

A non-alcoholic drink that tastes like alcohol but is said to be healthy may be introduced in the market two years from now, according to the Daily Mail.

The said beverage is expected to produce the same 'happy, fuzzy' feeling of alcohol but drinkers will be able to sober themselves up as it has a very different effect. Although the product seems too good to be true, a controversial drug expert says that 'healthy alcohol' may very well be introduced in the market in the next couple of years if someone will fund his research into it.

Professor David Nutt, a former chief drugs advisor who was fired from his post in 2009 after claiming that cannabis, ecstasy and LSD are less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes now said that is should be possible to become drunk without becoming ill as long as antidote pills are taken. People are supposed to take a drink that produces the happy and fuzzy feeling alcohol and once they have had enough they would take an antidote pill that instantly sobers them up.

However, Professor Nutt of the Imperial College London expresses that there is a possibility for this new drink to be unpopular among the multi-billion drinks industry and it is also not certain that people will embrace the product once introduced. Critics are also questioning whether people, especially motorists will remember to take the antidote pill that can help prevent feelings of drunkenness. The new drink will not contain any booze so it wouldn't be harmful for the heart, liver, stomach and other body parts that alcohol typically rots. The drink can also be tweaked chemically depending on how the drinker wants it to taste.
