Today i saw an article on an alternative alcohol substitute. They claim that it simulates all the good things about having a drink without the side effects of mood swings, drunkenness and hangovers. They claim to also have an antidote to make you sober again instantaneously with just a pill.
Now before i dive into the pro's and con's of such a technology, let's take a look at other things that have aided the alcoholics of the world to circumvent the drawbacks to drinking.
Let's start off with Powdered Alcohol, just add water. This just makes alcohol more easily accessible and concealable to youth (why would an adult need to hide it?) and by-passes certain laws to cater to the impressionable, mold-able youth. I guess it's the "get them hooked when they're young" ideology. I guess you will soon be able to pick up your favorite drink next to the flour and sugar in the grocery store.
Then we move on to alcohol in pill form, which would allow people to calculate their exact required dosage. But anyone i know that has had a few, has also lost count or can't be bothered any to remember, so there goes that marketing tactic. Now someone can pop a handful of vodka pills and voila, instantly tanked and on the road to alcohol poisoning and doesn't smell of liquor. This will change roadblocks as there goes the smell of alcohol in the car so i expect a lot more questions such as "Did you consume any alcoholic drinks or pills tonight?....".
