A hormone has been discovered which may be able to sober up drunk people in "half the time", scientists have said.
A new study conducted by academics at Southwestern University in Texas has found that a liver-produced hormone called FGF21 could help those intoxicated quickly regain consciousness and coordination.
Findings published in journal Cell Metabolism on Tuesday explained how a jab of FGF21 quickly reversed the physical effects of intoxication in mice that passed out from binge drinking levels of alcohol and helped them regain their composure.
