Did you overdo it on the alcohol? Scientists have created a drink that lowers blood alcohol levels. You'll sober up 50% in half an hour

Need to get behind the wheel, but somehow a few beers "happened"? A special drink developed by scientists at the American company Safety Shot aims to solve these and other situations. However, this is not just a laboratory experiment, but a finished product, which will soon appear on the shelves in the United States.

The new product is described as a "functional drink" and promises to reduce the effect of alcohol, keep you hydrated, improve your mental and psychological state and make you sober. According to the manufacturer, the drink's patented formula works by speeding up the metabolism of alcohol while protecting the stomach wall from absorbing it further.

Helping consumers and doctors alike

The manufacturer's motivation is said to be to reduce injuries, deaths, accidents and other negative consequences associated with excessive drinking and alcohol poisoning. Thus, the drink could be used by drivers who need to sober up quickly, people who get sick from alcohol, or those who want to have fun but then limit the negative effects of alcohol on their bodies.

A drink that sobers you up sounds suspicious to say the least, but the company is so confident in its innovation that it even wants to offer a concentrated version of it to doctors as a medical treatment. "We have initiated a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to provide a data set to demonstrate the clinical benefits of Safety Shot for people who consume alcohol and those who don't, as its nootropic formulation is designed to improve brain function and mental clarity for all who drink it," said Dr. Glynn Wilson, the company's chief scientific officer.

And what's so special about the drink? Its formula is said to contain "carefully selected natural vitamins, minerals and nootropics." The latter are so-called "smart drugs" and are substances that help improve cognitive abilities such as memory, attention or creativity. But whether the drink will be the "miracle" the manufacturer portrays it to be remains to be seen.
