Sounds good to me!

Well, that’s no fun…

Shit I would try some, no more drunken rampages or wife beating - its the future of drinking.

I just got that Star Trek thing

I don’t blame alcohol for wife beating deadbeats. It would solve the DUI problem. But for those responsible ones out there who have some self control when drunk NOT to drink and drive, watering down the sweet medicine of the liquor for just “mild inebriation” is just meh…

Think Al would try it?

Probably not.

Wonder if it will still fuck yer liver up like alcohol
Late,

eehh?!! what’s the point? people who drive drunk aren’t drunk because they are in love with the taste of beer/drinks, they are trying to get wasted.

i can see a niche market for this, like NA beer and shizz. i’d try it once just to say i visited 10-Forward.

Sounds pretty cool to me. If I could go out, get super buzzed, and then turn it off and go home and wake up the next day feeling fine that would be the coolest thing ever. I can’t handle alcohol like i used to. I get depressed the day after I drink too much now. It’s an uncontrollable depression in that I am not depressed that I drank too much or anything like that. I just feel a sense of doom and gloom that doesn’t shake until it works itself out of my system. I feel for those chemically imbalanced people who have to live with depression on a daily basis.

Exactly! I mean how many times have you wanted to go out to a show or just a bar and get a nice swerve on but couldn’t because the logistics of driving, using public transit just didn’t work out? Unless the place you are going to is in walking distance or near a convenient public transit line your choices are either driving and just having a couple of drinks, driving drunk, hoping that a hot dog or some coffee and some time will sober you up enough to not get pulled over, spending a fortune on cab fare, or finding a hotel to stay in.

If there was a way to go out and get yer swerve on, have a grand old time, pop a pill and be sober enough to drive home and go to sleep without a hangover, that I think would be fantastic! I get those day after drinking depression episodes too sometimes myself and they are often much worse than the physical effects of the hangover.

Besides, I’m sure that this new alcohol would not replace the gold old-fashioned mind-fucking liquors, so if you still fill the need to get piss raging drunk on New Years, yer birthday or the weekend that will still be an option.

your insight into depression is touching, sir. well said.

Yes, very well said! Chemical imbalance is such a bitch to deal with - especially to diagnose. Loves to ruin lives as well.

I’m sure this thing will be popular amongst teenagers. Instead of smoking pot, they’ll be drinking between classes and then sober in time for science class.
