GABA Labs is doing everything it can to transform social drinking for adults, developing functional ingredients as patentable alternatives to alcohol that allegedly mimics the desired effects of alcohol without leaving people with a hangover.
Based in the United Kingdom, GABA Labs has created products using a synthetic GABAergic ingredient to enhance social drinking and put human wellness at the forefront. Its leading product, “Alcarelle,” enhances conviviality and sociability when consumed while avoiding alcohol’s harmful effects.
While it has not yet been approved for use, GABA Labs has applied for registration for Alcarelle as a “novel food” in the U.K., E.U. and Canada. It has also applied for registration in the U.S., according to GABA Labs website.
Dr. Dave Montgomery joined “Morning in America” to break down the science behind the synthetic alcohol.
“Here’s the bottom line,” Montgomery said. “The positive effects of alcohol, when we drink, come from alcohol’s direct effect on a receptor called the GABA receptor in our brain that gives us that relaxed feeling kind of a bit of euphoria. The unwanted effects are attributed to a breakdown product of alcohol called Acetaldehyde — which gives you the hangover, the headache, nausea and things like that.”

A new wave of addicts on the horizon.
I’ve never had a hangover. Sometimes I’d wake up with a dry mouth after a night of drinking. Some people just don’t get them.
the really smart drinkers
have already figured this out

Kramer is awesome.
Dont know how well its known among “normal” drinkers...most ‘real’ alcoholics will assert that they rarely experience the redeye, headache, spinning room the day after a hard nights drinking that is a typical powerful hangover. What they do know well is the body/mind during detox and withdrawal after a weeks long bender.
Not a good time. You can actually die.
Just drink straight booze. Its the mixer that kills you.
I drink frequently and never have hangovers... If I did, I wouldn’t drink frequently.
Thats easy. Eat after drinking, and drink water with your meal. You wont be hungover, at least not nearly as bad.
NOW, forcing yourself to eat a real meal and drinking water while you are stinking drunk.....That may be impossible but, it will work if you do it.
As my Polish family says...
The best cure for hangover is cold beer in the morning....
The best cure is moderation.
