Booze without consequences

Scientists in North Korea claim to have invented a hangover-free alcohol, the Pyongyang Times reports. According to the newspaper, despite having 30%-40% alcohol, this new creation will "spare you wincing when you wake". The drink derives from a natural herb - Kaesong Koryo insam, which is thought to have medicinal properties. According to reports, the drink is made from "a type of indigenous ginseng called insam and glutinous rice, and cultivated by an organic farming method". The Pyongyang Times, reports the liquor is made of six-year-old Kaesong Koryo insam, and instead of adding sugar, it is replaced with scorched rice. Finally something good from North Korea.
