A group of researchers in Australia have been hard at work making that dream a reality, which they finally achieved by fusing beer with sports drink technology.
The scientists added electrolytes to beer, and as a result the beers now help hydrate instead of dehydrate. Dehydration is one of the major causes of a hangover, and apparently a few extra electrolytes during the drinking process help keep the headaches at bay.
The scientists took four beers, two regular, one strong, one light, and added the extra electrolytes. Taste-tests confirmed that the addition did not affect the flavor of the beer.
“Of the four different beers the subjects consumed, our augmented light beer was by far the most well retained by the body, meaning it was the most effective at rehydrating the subjects,†said associate professor and lead researcher Ben Desbrow.
If hangovers didn't exist, we would expect to see a lot
more weekday-drinking going on in the world :D
