Letter: Letters : Morning after

Published 10 May 1997

Not long ago you ran a story about an unpleasant procedure involving tubes
and bodily orifices in which oxygen is pumped into the gut of people with
clinical hangovers (Patents, 29 March, p 26).

Also not long ago, many science magazines had pictures of a rat suspended in
and breathing an oxygen-rich liquid (perfluorocarbon).

By putting the two together we may finally have the ultimate hangover
drink.
