There is nothing worse than a hangover the morning after a heavy session. More often than not you could be clung to the toilet bowl as your head pounds, all the while you tell yourself: "Never again."
Well, this could be a thing of the past thanks to scientists who claim to have found a new elixir to battle the effects of a hangover.
To create this, a team of researchers in China gave laboratory mice red wine and observed how long it took them to recover. They then worked on a genetically-engineered probiotic which created an enzyme capable of breaking down alcohol which dramatically reduced the after-effects.
