Boozehounds, get ready to celebrate:

Mad-scientists are about to start human trials on a new drug that “will reduce the degree of drunkenness for the amount of alcohol drunk and will definitely reduce the hangover symptoms.“

We couldn’t be happier.

The miracle drug is a chemical called dihydromyricetin (DHM for those of us who hate big words). It comes from a mystical Chinese oriental raisin tree, which the Chinese have apparently been using for 500 years as a hangover cure.

It’s seemed to have worked for the booze-fueled lab rats, so here’s hoping.

Of course the actual purpose of the drug is intended to cure alcoholism, but we can’t wait to use it for the next office beer pong tournament.

Hopefully this new drug will keep us out of any video montages like this:
