North Korea invents hangover-free alcohol

North Korea's latest boast: Alcohol without the hangover
Lin Taylor, for CNN

(CNN)It put the world on edge after its supposed hydrogen bomb test. But perhaps we can learn to love North Korea now that it claims to have invented a revolutionary liquor that won't leave you bleary-eyed and hungover.

And no, apparently it's not water.

According to state-run newspaper Pyongyang Times, this "suave" liquor is made from an extract of ginseng, and uses glutinous rice instead of sugar.

This secret blend of six-year-old ginseng and "scorched rice," produced by Taedonggang Foodstuff Factory researchers, is what makes the alcohol hangover-free, the article reported.

Thailand is in the ideal position to produce it from six-year-old rice and "scorched ginseng".

It would be more useful if North Korea invented a tasty and nice filling famine.

Until now the hang over cure used to be, 'if we catch you drunk, off you go to labor camp,

you and all your family'...

Dear loyal citizens, in lieu of rice, enjoy this rice liquor on an empty belly.

Dear loyal citizens, in lieu of rice, enjoy this rice liquor on an empty belly.

But beware of the hydrogen bomb that would discharge from your rear...

Hell ,There goes half the reason to quit or talk to God. As in " Oh God, If you let me live through the day. I promise that I will never drink again".

I wonder if it comes in other flavours? With Thailand rubber surplus along with it's unsellable rice it'd be a godsend for this countries exports!!

They should invent a gun that automatically flies in the air and finds the key <deleted> leader and blows his head off - Replicate this patent for other such dictatorships and the world will be in a better place.

Chubby bar girls, cigarette smoke, hangovers. Ugh.

With each passing day, I grow happier and happier that I don't intentionally poison myself......

You're Welcome!!
