SOBRIETY IN A PILL: TABLET DRIES OUT DRUNKS

SARASOTA, Fla. (Wireless Flash) – A Florida company claims it has invented a pill that will turn a drunk person sober in a matter of minutes. The tablets – called “Notox” – are scheduled to appear in stores next month and contain herbal extracts that supposedly lower blood alcohol level. A spokesman for the manufacturer claims two tablets will make a person who’s had up to six drinks sober enough to drive a car within 30 minutes. The anti-drunk pill is raising concerns with groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, but a spokesman for the herbal supplement says the pill isn’t a replacement for safeguards like designated drivers – it’s just another precaution.
