which, when followed with an “antidote” chaser, makes users instantly sober without the threat of a hangover.
Prof. David Nutt, director of the neuropsychopharmacology unit at
London’s Imperial College, said he was motivated to find a safer
alternative to alcohol and has been experimenting with new compounds on
himself.
“In theory we can make an alcohol surrogate that makes people feel
relaxed and sociable and remove the unwanted effects, such as aggression
and addictiveness,” Nutt wrote of his findings in the Telegraph.
Nutt said he has identified five compounds that target the same
neurotransmitter system in the brain that responds to booze but now
needs “to test them to see if people find the effects as pleasurable as
alcohol.”
Once an ideal compound has been identified, Nutt wrote, it will be
easy to synthesize an antidote capable of instantly reversing the drug’s
effects. He has already begun sampling the new drugs on himself.
