Now, we’ve heard this likely tale once or twice before. You’ve probably seen those ‘hangover tablets’ in the chemist (why do they always contain ‘rare berries’ from some jungle?), and most of us have purchased that ‘hangover-free’ powder you can buy from bottlos to mix with your cheap-ass goon.
Neither worked, and you still woke up the next day with your shirt inside-out AND back-to-front, praying to all potential gods to end your misery while you sob next to your toilet.
But never fear, guys! North Korea have got it now. Their state government have publicly said they’ve invented ‘hangover-free alcohol’.
It’s called Korya Liquor, and The Pyongyang Times say it’s a combo of six-year-old, high-quality ginseng and “scorched glutinous rice”.

- Unicorns are real! The unicorn lair frequented by King Tongmyong was found, said a Korean news agency.
- A government website once said that Kim Jong Il was supernatural, and one of his supernatural powers was that he didn’t poop. Ever. No pooping.

- Oh, and all those dubious ‘hydrogen bomb tests’ he gave himself for his birthday? Weird.
- North Korea have cured Ebola, AIDS, MERS and SARS with this thing called Kumdang-2. It’s ginseng. So, the same thing that’s in this booze.
Yeahhhhhhh… we’re gonna need to see some proof, mates. What’s that? We can’t? Oh… ok then.
