New Scientist鈥檚 special issue on alcohol explained how N
-acetyl-cysteine is supposed to ease hangovers
(27 November, p 36). Now an
Italian company is patenting compounds that it claims suppress 鈥渁lcohol
withdrawal symptoms and craving鈥�. Sigma-Tau Industrie of Rome (WO 99/17623) says
that a mix of l-carnitine, acetyl-l-carnitine and propionyl-l-carnitine, or
their 鈥減harmacologically safe salts鈥�, has the surprising effect of curing a
hangover. This removes any motivation to drink more alcohol as a 鈥渉air of the
dog鈥� hangover cure the next day, the company claims.
