The hangover pill overrides this important process and this could open Pandora’s box, Mr Preston warned.
“The fact this pill is now extremely accessible means we could easily see a rise in binge drinking with people using this pill as an excuse to consume more, which could be extremely damaging for people’s health and wellbeing,” he warned.
“For example, using this pill as an excuse to drink more could lead to problems such as insomnia which can lead to exhaustion and fatigue which will lower your quality of life day to day.”
In more serious cases, said Mr Preston, it could lead to liver disease or even brain damage as it can damage your brain’s frontal lobe – this area of the brain is responsible for emotional control, short-term memory, and judgement, in addition to other vital roles.
