How To Drink More Alcohol And Not Get Drunk

Don't get me wrong. I am not encouraging you to go and get sloshed out of your mind but there is a pill that you could take that would allow you to drink more but feel less drunk than you are supposed to. Now before you flood my page with comments asking me where you can buy it, I have to tell you that it is not out yet.



Researchers from Yale University are at the moment testing a drug that negates the effects of alcohol on the brain. It is called iomazenil. This chemical if taken before drinking can reduce the effects of alcohol.


The results of a pilot study, in which researchers tested subjects in a driving simulator, suggested that after drinking, those who took iomazenil before drinking braked more quickly and were less likely to stray into the wrong lane.


The point, surprisingly enough, is not to develop a drug that simply allows people to drink more. Instead, the researchers hope that by stopping alcohol from getting to work on particular brain cells, iomazenil could help in developing a "stay sober" pill to wean heavy drinkers off alcohol by taking some of the pleasure out of drinking.

So, yes, this potential miracle drug that could allow you to keep up with your bros is actually intended for treating serious alcoholism. Our suggestion? Keep drinking in moderation, know your limits and once you hit them, stop drinking.
