PYONGYANG, North Korea,- North Korea announced food scientists have achieved a major scientific breakthrough: a "suave" liquor that "causes no hangover."
The state-run Pyongyang Times said in an English-language report that scientists with the Taedonggang Foodstuff Factory altered the recipe for the ginseng-based Koryo liquor to eliminate the morning-after hangover effects of consuming alcohol.
The report said researchers found the hangover was eliminated by "using the boiled and scorched glutinous rice instead of sugar" to cover the bitter taste of the ginseng.
"Koryo Liquor, which is made of six-year-old Kaesong Koryo insam, known as being highest in medicinal effect, and the scorched rice, is highly appreciated by experts and lovers as it is suave and causes no hangover," the Pyongyang Times said.
Koryo liquor, which is only available in North Korea, comes in 30 and 40 percent alcohol versions. The makers espoused its supposed health benefits.
"The scorched glutinous rice contains essential amino acids, inorganic substances and vitamins and helps quicken lipolysis," the report said.
"The product exudes national flavor also in the shape of bottle and packaging," the Pyongyang Times said.
North Korea previously claimed to have used ginseng to develop a drug that treats conditions including MERS, SARS and AIDS.
The alcoholic contents of the liquor are 30 and 40 percent.
The product exudes national flavour also in the shape of bottle and packaging.
The liquor has already been registered as a national scientific and technological hit. Last year it was ranked top at the fifth national liquor exhibition, came first in the food sector of the 30th national scientific and technological festival and was awarded the December 15 Medal of Quality which is given to the best products in the country.
Now if they follow through with the no regrets beer goggles beauty who turned into a beast while you were passed out, then that’s an accomplishment!
LOL, this has been posted often enough to suggest that there is a massive market if they export. Too bad it’s another empty claim.
Death knows “no hangover”.
While it is something of a State Secret, the recipe for this amazing breakthrough has been in the Kim family for generations.
People ask but why reveal it now? The answer is simple - both the dark-side moon colony and the Mars expeditions have asked for some way to enjoy themselves with out jeopardizing the People’s mission. Our Great Leader Kim Un graciously relented and now the world knows of his true greatness ...
I like the look on Mr. Skeptical’s (to Kimmy’s left)face.
I tried that hangover-free beverage once. It's real, just not very good. Back then it was called "water".
I actually want the hangover as a reason for me to kick them off my bed and house.

The product exudes the delicate natural flavour of mule piss.
I see Un is looking hard at the guy to his left - he better do the commercial correctly or Un will have a word with him.
Well, they actually just can’t afford to put alcohol in their liquor.
Other than that, there is no difference between NK and the rest of the of the world’s liquors.
Is his brow photoshopped that badly (baldly ?) to make the dictator taller than everybody else in the room?
Why am I thinking the hangover research consisted of rifle butts and test subjects?
For instance:
“Are you hungover?”
“Yes.”
(rifle butt to the back of the head)
“Are you hungover?”
“mumbles...uhhh...no?”
“Subject number 122 also reports no hangover!!”
After putting an astronaut on the sun, anything’s possible from North Korean scientists.

If this is true, it could break them wide open. They finally hit the big time after all those years of sucking!
