Fox News reports that a French product, Outox, is claiming to reduce reduce drunkenness and hangovers. It sounds like a miracle for over-imbibers of the legal drinking age. Could this product really work?
A study by the Institute for Legal Medicine in Innsbruck, Austria, has found that that it doesn’t. The research shows that Outox might delay absorption of alcohol by the body, but cannot change the rate at which the body processes alcohol.
In other words, any alcohol that you put in your body stays in your body—regardless of any magic drink that you might wish could help.
To safely enjoy alcohol, and prevent over-intoxication and subsequent hangovers, adults over 21 should follow these tips offered by Party Smarter:
Plan - Where are you going? Who are you going with? How are you getting home?
Prepare - Eat, drink water, and make sure you take just enough money to have a good time. Leave the credit cards at home!
Pace – Limit how much you drink in a night.
