Tom Parker-Bowles tests out new hangover cure Safety Shot. The Mail reporter revealed he would rather 'have the worst hangover in the world' than drink the 'hangover cure' because the caffeine made him feel odd.
‘Extend the night, enhance the morning.’ So goes the blurb for Safety Shot, the latest in a seemingly inexhaustible line of health drinks, elixirs, panaceas and snake oil that promise to soothe the symptoms of the previous night’s excess.
If true , this could be massive. Immense. In fact, this is the sort of news that should be celebrated in the traditional British manner. So excuse me while I nip off to the pub, down six pints, sink a few whisky chasers, and chug a can of Safety Shot. Before returning home to write this piece, my facilities miraculously unsullied. It could even make the ‘designated driver’ a thing of the past.
That scientific proof is opaque, to say the least. The main ingredient listed is ‘triple filtered purified water’, followed by ‘apple pectin’ and it claims to contain six different B vitamins. Also included are a host of unfamiliar additives including n-acetyl cysteine, cognizin citicoline and synephrine HCL. ‘Safety Shot reduces blood alcohol content through several factors that help process alcohol more efficiently’, it explains. Oh, and ‘It should be noted that every person is different.
As a man with a Biology degree from Oxford , he can smell quackery from a mile off. ‘So,’ he says, eyeing the can with barely concealed disdain, ‘this drink is promising to overturn everything we know about alcohol, and its effects upon the blood and body. Without sharing their study data, or peer-reviewed research?’ He’s not convinced.
‘Show me their names’, he responds. I can’t. ‘And I bet it’s classed as a “supplement” too.’ Er, yup. ‘Well, that means the Food and Drug Administration don’t get involved either. Why am I not surprised?’ He goes quiet for another second. ‘Worst of all, who in God’s name would go to the pub for a few drinks. While paying for something that stops you getting drunk?’ He takes a furious swig of his beer. ‘Safety, my a**.
Anyway, two bottles of rubbish Italian beer later , we wander down to the pub, and, over two hours, drink three pints of Aspall cider. Usually, I’d feel pretty merry. My head is pathetically light, and it doesn’t take much to get me in the party spirit.
