New ‘hangover cure’ drink claims to reverse effects in 30 minutes

This one can vs ten pints? Basically David v Goliath?

You could have an amazing night with your friends, drinking beers and belting out your favorite tunes, but you can almost bet that you’ll feel terrible in the morning.

Sure, you like to show off about how you “never get hangovers,” but honestly, most of us who drink have had those mornings where we just want to hide away and disappear.

The throbbing pain in your head, the feeling of nausea, and that weird anxiety after drinking – all making you wonder if it was really worth it at all.

It seems almost like something out of a sci-fi movie, but there’s a new drink that claims to cure a hangover in just 30 minutes!

And no, it’s not about having a drink to cure a hangover or sipping on some orange Lucozade.

It’s basically magic, supposedly. (@drinksafetyshot/Instagram)

Safety Shot is the newest product that promises to help get rid of hangovers by breaking down alcohol and restoring the nutrients our bodies need to recover.

A study by the Centre for Applied Health Sciences in the US discovered that the drink can start working in just 30 minutes. However, some experts are not so sure about how fast and effective it really is.

Safety Shot was introduced in the US just before Christmas, aiming to help drinkers “never lose a day,” and it sold out really fast.

It’s not available in the UK right now, but it seems like they’re planning to launch it before the year ends.

The beverage says it can stop leftover alcohol from being absorbed in the stomach by forming a protective layer around the stomach wall. It also claims to lower blood alcohol levels by using different methods that help the body break down alcohol better.

Plus, with the combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, it’s supposed to help your body maintain hydration.

Then again, we’d try anything to bin off a hangover. (@drinksafetyshot/Instagram)

Safety Shot claims that the last part of its hangover remedy is to boost your overall sense of wellness by using a mix of nootropics and vitamins.

Some people say it really works, but a journalist from The Guardian tried it out and discovered that it didn’t lower her blood alcohol level quickly. Instead, it changed how alert she felt.

Experts have different opinions about this topic, and Sam Royle, a researcher from the University of Salford, shared with The Sun that “we don’t completely understand how hangovers work. Although the product has some ingredients that might help with inflammation or oxidative stress, which are believed to contribute to hangover symptoms, there aren’t any proven cures for hangovers,” he explained to The Sun.

Lauren Johnson Reynolds, a registered nutritional therapist, mentioned that it could possibly make you feel better, but she isn’t convinced it can remove alcohol from your body quickly.

“I would be sceptical about the blood alcohol content being reduced that quickly, but I can see how it might make a person feel better,” she said.
