It’s called Myrkl (pronounced miracle, not Merkel, like the long-serving German chancellor) and a pack of 30 tablets can be bought online for £30 ($36).
It works, the company claims, by speeding up the rate at which the body breaks down alcohol over a period of 12 hours. So, in theory, if you take the tablets before an evening’s entertainment then you should wake up the next morning with a clear head.
The drink was a pint of lager. Then, on arrival at the event, at 7:30pm, I was greeted with a glass of lovely fizz. I’m reliably informed it was not champagne, but some of England’s finest sparkling wine. Eight o’clock came around, and it was another beer. 8.15pm saw a return to the carbonated good stuff before dinner, courtesy of a passing waiter.
...
The true test for Myrkl would be in the morning when I had to drag myself into the office after six hours sleep and nine drinks the night before.
The tablet, whose ingredients have been authorised and recognised as safe by the European Food Safety Agency and the US Food Drug Administration, is sold as a natural supplement.
While the morning-after “hangxiety” – that feeling of guilt and stress that follows a night of drinking – was strong, the mouth a little parched and the head a tad fuzzy, it was barely a 3/10 hangover. And, as the day wore on, I only felt better. No painkillers or pick-me-ups were required, just the odd cup of coffee and some water.
I was, remarkably, quite alert despite consuming around 21 units of alcohol in four hours, 50 per cent more than the 14-unit limit

“ Myrkl’s unique formulation is made of proprietary fermented rice brans which contain carefully selected and cultivated high-performing bacteria (Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis), B12 vitamin (recognised by the European Food Safety Agency and the US Food Drug Administration to help boost immunity and energy levels), L-Cysteine (recognised to alleviate alcohol hangover symptoms) and Dextrin (a natural thickening agent).”
Yes annoying I know.
However if you search for the product there are MANY people reviewing it.
It must have come out this week or something...
My son is in the UK now and returns in a week. I sent him the info in case he’s interested. Ya never know.
And he didn’t get pregnant!
I’m not a scientist but..there is probably a reason one gets hangovers.
At the very least it’s telling your body you have over did it.
He probably won’t know for several month.
A looong time ago I figured out how to end all hangovers. I do not get drunk. Works every time, guaranteed.
There is a fool proof, risk free hangover miracle - sobriety.
I feel like crap in the morning whether I drink or not. I wish there was a cure for watching monster movies until 3am.
I agree. I haven’t had a drink in years 👍
On the surface, doesn’t seem like a great idea as it presumably encourages more drinking binges.
Kind of like GMO corn encouraging the lathering on of ever more Roundup.
It doesn’t appear to be available on Amazon yet.
Don’t drink that last drink. You know which one it is.
Thanks for the link.
“Consumers who drank two glasses of wine and took Myrkl before drinking had 50% less alcohol in their blood after 30 minutes than the placebo group, and 70% less after 60 minutes.”
I found brewer’s yeast (ironically) does the same.
I have a “miracle” hangover remedy.
It’s called only have a drink or two, then stop.
Best hangover cure I know of is a B12 shot, a glass of water and oxygen for 15 minutes or don’t drink so much.
