Russian scientists who made-up holdover remedy make tab that keeps you drunk
The makers of RU-21, the "miracle" holdover cure reputedly developed for Soviet spies, have highly-developed a product to keep you drunk.
Spirit Sciences, which is based in California but has research facilities in Russia employing scientists who once worked on buried programmes for the Kremlin, have christened the new product RU-21 Red.
If you take a pill you need less alcohol to stay drunk, they claim. Emil Chiabery, a co-founder of the company, told The Conducting wire from his offices in Los Angeles: "I never drink and there's no personal story. But RU-21 Red prolongs boozing and enhances intoxication.''
RU-21, the company's original product, is sold as a cancel dietary supplement in the US and Britain. It officially claims to help foreclose long-term diseases machine-accessible with hold alcohol intake.
But among its ingredients are acids that are raw(a) anti-oxidants and reportedly rid the body of some of the evil by-products of intoxicant breakdown that lead to hangovers.
The new pill, which contains grapevine extracts intended to slow down the oxidization of intoxicant and keep the exploiter drunk, has been criticised. The weighting of literary criticism means the company may now reconsider introducing it to the market.
Mr Chiabery, who was born in what was then the Soviet democracy of Georgia, said: "I'm not sure I'm going to market it in the USA. I don't want it to get a party drug. We are for responsible drinking."
The company makes no buried of the fact that its katzenjammer curative is aimed at party-goers anxious to nullify the debilitating morning-after effects of heavy drinking. The company sponsors concerts and democratic groups.
The product, which is marketed with a video showing KGB types in the shadow of the Kremlin handing over a briefcase of money in exchange for the hidden formula, earns hundreds of thousands of pounds a year in gross revenue in the US.
