Of Course Hangover-Free Beer Was Invented By Aussies


Good news you guys: that grand Australian tradition of habitually necking twelve-fifteen pints at the pub to avoid interacting with your family and waking up with the worst fucking hangover ever may be mitigated thanks to the wonders of modern science, the ABC reports. 

A research team from the Griffith Health Institute in Queensland has claimed to now hold the key to hangover-free alcohol consumption and it all has to do with electrolytes.

Professor Ben Desbrow, who conceived the idea by observing the relationship between beer and sports, argues that electrolyte-rich tipples can drastically reduce the effects of dehydration, and hence, hangover, associated with getting shit faced.

“This first investigation was really just having a look to see could we manipulate the electrolyte properties of beer and the alcohol content of beer to potentially influence its rehydration potential,” he said. “We know that beer is a very popular drink with people, particularly after … sport or exertion.” 

“From our perspective it’s about exploring harm minimisation approaches that may still allow people to potentially drink beer as a beverage but lower the risks associated with the alcohol consumption – and hopefully improve rehydration potential.”

There you have it you guys. Vanquish the morning after demons forever by mixing your beer with equal parts Blue Powerade. Mmmmm. Tasty.
