FDA Approves Hangover Pill

The FDA has recently approved a new over the counter drug to cure the much-dreaded hangover. The pill, called Blowfish, contains 1,000 mg of aspirin and 120 mg of caffeine. The fix promises to work in just 15 to 30 minutes. “The magic of the effervescent tablet is that it hits your system much faster than getting a cup of coffee, taking an antacid and taking some aspirin separately,” the company said. The pill is also good for non-alcohol induced symptoms like headaches, stomach upset and body aches, according to the company. Brenna Haysom, a Harvard grad, came up with the remedy when she attended the university. The product is expected in drugstores early next year.
