Methanetetrol cannot survive on Earth due to its instability under everyday atmospheric conditions.Quickly decomposes into water and carbon dioxide... The search continues for the anti-hangover alcohol molecule.

Somebody needs to tell them that when it spontaneously decomposes, it forms carbon dioxide and water - what are trying to do, fry the planet?
