Containing probiotic bacteria, amino acids and vitamins, Myrkl's makers say taking two of their new pills before drinking will ease a hangover the next day.

Both species of bacteria included in the Myrkl pill are probiotic bacteria thought to be healthy for digestion. They then work together to break the alcohol down into water and carbon dioxide, with minimal production of acetaldehyde or acetic acid. Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, a New York City-based registered dietitian, told Verywell Health: "After looking at the limited research, I wouldn't bank on L-cysteine being the winning hangover cure we all hoped for." While scientists don't fully understand why drinking copious amounts of alcohol results in a headache and nausea the next day, they do have a good idea of the chemical pathways that contribute to a hangover. Alcohol is also a diuretic, meaning that you are likely very dehydrated the morning after a heavy one, which will only exacerbate all of these symptoms. The pills contain a "science based formulation" of bacteria, L-cysteine (an amino acid found in tuna and oatmeal) and Vitamin B12 (found in meat, eggs, and milk, among other sources).

Experts say that without the pills, the booze is broken down by the liver and creates acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde and acetic acid is also broken down by the liver. Once you take the pills the bacteria, and the l-cycteine B12 activate in the gut before the booze reaches the liver.

Taking Myrkl prior to alcohol consumption will make getting drunk much more expensive and will take significantly longer.

The NHS recommends adults drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week, spread across three or more days.

Dr Dawn Harper from Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies says of the pills: “To be clear, this is not a product for people that want to get drunk. After half a glass, I feel the welcome signifiers of alcohol, an enhanced feeling of calm. I feel rested, and in a good mood, when I wake at 7.30am, but find this unsettling in itself. But I don’t believe in silver bullets and worry they may lead me to drink more. I don’t know many people for whom “British drinking culture” is not a conundrum. My friend, the sober judge in the scenario, says I don’t seem tipsy at all and reiterates this in a message the next day.

On Saturday afternoon, I took my daughter to see Lightyear (a terrifying homage to sci-fi with little to do with Toy Story) with a friend and her daughter.

Drinkers without a hangover the next day might also be encouraged to drink yet again that day which could eventually lead to alcoholism." He continued: “The fact is, this pill isn’t designed for binge drinking.
