The new pill, which contains grapevine extracts intended to slow down the oxidation of alcohol and keep the user drunk, has been criticised. The weight of criticism means the company may now reconsider introducing it to the market.

Mr Chiabery, who was born in what was then the Soviet republic of Georgia, said: "I'm not sure I'm going to market it in the USA. I don't want it to become a party drug. We are for responsible drinking."

The company makes no secret of the fact that its hangover cure is aimed at party-goers anxious to avoid the debilitating morning-after effects of heavy drinking. The company sponsors concerts and pop groups.
Sooo... they have a pill out on the market that lets you drink all you want without getting a hangover, but the pill that would cause you to consume less alcohol is possibly not going to be released because they want to encourage responsible drinking? Who underwrites their research? Anheuser Bush? What a buncha maroons
