[Marquis De Sade]

I don't drink that much but the times I've gotten smashed outta my mind, this might've come in handy.

I can't decide which is worse, anal leakage or loss of hair. And if I'm not drunk I'll actually care. This is depressing.

 

[GEORGIATKLER]

I assume mass quantities of alcohol would still do liver damage over time? Probably not as much as a car windshield, but......

Of course you would be concerned about loss of hair.

Oh I'm sure. It'd be even worse if your body wasn't able to warn you of the effects you were drinking too much. It's the same with energy drinks and alcohol. You don't know just how smashed you are until the energy wears off. Then you're staring at a toilet for a few hours and your liver is crying. 🙁

Of course you would be concerned about loss of hair.

Lol. I'll admit, I was waiting for that. 😛

It's a dangerous drug.

Getting drunk is natures way of stopping more booze from being consumed after a certain point. Passing out or not being able to pick up a glass and get it to ones mouth sort of stops getting more poison into the body.

This drug removes that. And I wager the number of poisonings, and significant damage to organs will spike if it's released.

I don't think kids will pay any attention to that at all though. WHAT?! Drink ALL I want and not get drunk?! *chugs* Sad but true.

 

[c7_assassin]

So you take this drug, and then you can drink and the alcohol has no effect?

Holy shit, that sounds like fun!

While you're at it, did you know that if you snort baking soda it feels just like doing blow except you don't get high? And if you smash your penis with a hammer until it's black and swollen, you can have sex without ever orgasming! Wheeeee! 😛

 

[Inverse]

I find the idea of drinking a chemical designed to cause inebriation and then taking a pill to negate it kind of... well~ silly! :3

Water is always an option you know~ lol. Is beer so tasty you have to have it but, darn~ sure hate that alcohol part ruining it for ya? XD

Yeah. I don't even know why someone would even invent this. But they have, sigh. And people will probably take it and drink it and the medical industry will be pleased as punch.

Well, it would be nice for anyone who has gone out drinking at a bar or party and have to rely on a cab or a designated driver to bring them home or risk driving drunk and get into an accident or get arrested. Go out, get drunk, and never have to worry about being too drunk to drive because all you have to do is take a pill to sober up.

Hmm. That's a VERY valid point. That almost outweighs the abuses that'll be had. Hmm...

 

[Inverse]

It won't be able to prevent you from getting busted. Your blood toxicity will still be over a certain threshhold. How will police really be able to incorporate this pill into their procedure? x3

Pepper spray first. Run test second.

Yes. I went there. 😛

Seems more like a psychiatric drug...

Like the, "four hour, energy: drink"...

I'm assuming since the pill will make you sober again that you'd be able to drive without impairment. So if you're not driving erratically or anything that would result in being pulled over, you should be ok. But I guess we won't really know until they do the experiments.

 

[Bothersome]

Are there really people that drink for the taste of the beverage?

I don't know about you lot, but alcohol tastes like cough medicine to me. That's certainly not why I drank it.

 

[Ticklishguy83]

........Ok, here a VERY simple solution. Your mind is messed up because your dehydrated as hell. So what you do for every 3 to 4 glasses have of alcohol, drink a 16oz glass of water or vitamin water or sobe , not necessarily Gatorade because that crap has more sodium. Whatever this is, it is not safe and I probably can guarantee that it just shuts off parts of your brain or is an overrated multivitamin with that old pill that used to stop hangovers (which didn't completely BTW). If you stay sober and drive home , even if your OK mentally just remember it doesn't erase your BAC so if there's an accident or you get pulled over you can enjoy the pending lawsuit on a probably bankrupt business as you wait in prison or picking garbage off the highway. Sorry, stupid pharmaceutic ideas piss me off.

 

[JaneyD]

Hmmm... ok now why would you want to be sober when you drink? :| I mean you drink to get F'd up right?

 

[Mitchell]

As I've posted before, I dont drink, but.. on the topic at hand...

The side effects of this drug sound far more dangerous than the drug itself. Plus, if one isnt drunk, and keeps drinking.. it could lead to faster organ deterioration from alcohol for people. A guy my mom and I used to know.. (An older man in her generation) died of liver failure from excessive drinking. He was only in his early 60s. Had there been a drug like this, he God Forbid might have passed away years earlier.

I personally think this is an unneeded drug to have. If someone wants to get drunk, do it, and deal with the hangover after. I was drunk a few times when I was in my 20s. You feel like shit, wake up with a hangover, have stomach problems, and are usually fine within 24 hrs. I'd rather have that..then a drug which mutes the effects of drinking, and could be more damaging to the system then getting drunk itself.

This sounds awesome! Can't wait. Would make me far more efficient in "working hard playing harder".

LOLOLOL. Another good point.

Well, yeah. But few people I feel would be smart enough to not abuse this and kill their livers. Besides, as Janey mentioned, if you don't feel the effects, alcohol one might as well not even drink.

What a strange invention to begin with. 😕

I don't like the taste of alcohol at all...there's only one reason I do drink...to get that buzz...remove that aspect of getting drunk what's the point?

 

[GQguy]

I'm guessing most of you guys dont drink. What's the point of this drug!?! You party, get buzzed. Before bed pop your pill and wake up great! Wash rinse recycle. No need to drive home, I'd still take a cab. Would I drink more, no. But the day after I do can be spent doing something productive like working out and studying, volunteering instead of nursing a hangover.
