Nicotine Beer

Thought this was interesting, especially when a few weeks ago we were talking about beer, smokes, and how you always smoke more while drinking.

Nicotine beer in the pipeline

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,16801771-23109,00.html

A GERMAN company has come up with a novel way of beating bans on smoking in pubs – put the nicotine in the beer.

A new beer, known as NicoShot, is undergoing testing in Germany with hopes it can be moved toward approval in the next few months.

Each beer contains three milligrams of nicotine and a 6.3 per cent alcohol reading.

Its German maker, Nautilus, claims the beer is designed to help smokers quit the habit rather than make the drink addictive.

"While NicoShot can lessen cravings, it is not a 'cure' for smoking," Nautilus said.

"But it can help you make changes in your lifestyle without having to walk out of the bar for a quick smoke to deal with sudden withdrawal symptoms.

"Over time, when you are more comfortable being a non-smoker, the use of nicotine beer can be reduced and then stopped."

Remember that beer Drew Carey's character made on his TV show? Beer with coffee in it. I think someone has actually done that too.

Coffee doesn't actually sober you up. It just makes you a wide-awake drunk.

Beat me to it Morgan.

yup, the coffee will wake you, but it does nothing to detoxify or quickly metabolize the alcohol.
