Wish you had a drink that would give the same 'happy, fuzzy' feeling of alcohol without getting you drunk or leaving you with an addiction or hangover? Well, it seems your wish is likely to be granted soon.

Professor David Nutt, a controversial drugs expert with the Imperial College of London, has come up with the idea of 'healthy alcohol' that might be out in the market two years from now, if someone agrees to fund his research.

According to Nutt, revelers drinking this harm-free booze can slosh themselves until no more and then pop in an antidote pill to sober up instantly.

Nutt has identified a wad of compounds that triggers pleasurable feeling in the brain without activating brain parts that trigger aggression and addiction.

He has processed a chemical that when added to cocktails will give you a high without rotting your heart, live and stomach. Drinkers can also tweak the proportion of the chemical to stay in a pleasantly merry state, no matter how much beverage they consume. And the best part, with this drink, there will be no hangovers too.

As Professor Nutt says: ‘You can always find an antidote for it, so you have the pleasure of being inebriated, take another drug, wake up, sober up and drive home safely.

The professor who has spent most of his life treating alcoholics believes that this drink would revolutionize healthcare for good.

But the big question is how will the multi-billion-pound drinks industry react to it?
