Cure the morning after ... the night before

Pubs and clubs are to offer a "hangover cure" to eradicate the worst effects of the morning after the night before.

Ethos Endymion, a powder containing an ingredient also used to treat cataracts, will be available from vending machines in five bars and clubs in Sussex from next month. Shore Bar in Shoreham High Street and The Art House in Western Road, Hove, will have a machine and three other premises are to be confirmed.

The powder contains carnosine, a natural antioxidant that boosts the immune system.

Lee Grant, of The Body Repair Shop in Haywards Heath said "It replenishes the goodness the body has lost the night before and changes the way the body deals with alcohol.

"It doesn't stop the intoxicating effects of alcohol but it does stop the damage it causes."

The powder is dissolved in water and can be taken before drinking alcohol or during the night.
