I saw a commercial last night advertising Chaser, an unusual pill that will “prevent hangovers.” They said to take two pills for every three alcoholic beverages that you drink. This is just what we need: a pill to get rid of the effects of alcohol abuse–that way, you can drink yourself drunk and not have to worry about feeling ill. Last time I checked, hangovers were the reason why most people do drink responsibly, with the obvious exception of college students who need to get it out of their systems or something.
Although, many people said that a birth-control pill that eliminated the possibility of pregnancy from a casual sexual encounter would cause society to go through a sexual upheaval. Not that sexual revolution was worth banning an important drug, but could Chaser have any possible results that are not so hedonistic?
