Hangover free prosecco, 'liver friendly' vodka - they come in all shapes and sizes don't they?!
So what's this 'liver friendly' vodka all about? Harsha Chigurupati, an Indian researcher has created a compound that will apparently prevent our livers from being damaged by alcohol.

The proposed labeling and advertising statements create a misleading impression that consumption of alcohol beverages infused with NTX will protect consumers from certain serious health risks associated with both moderate and heavy levels of alcohol consumption.
