A new FDA-approved hangover cure has hit the market just in time for holiday party season.
“So many people see hangovers as a shameful or embarrassing thing. I think of them as just a fact of life,” said Brenna Haysom, the creator of Blowfish through the West Village-based Rally Labs LLC.
The over-the-counter drug cocktail combines 1,000 milligrams of aspirin, 120 milligrams of caffeine and a stomach-soothing agent into two effervescent tablets taken the morning after a night of heavy drinking.

As anyone who reads this blog, I’d like to replace the FDA with “Consumers’ Reports” type private organizations.
We need to have a gradual way of escaping the regulatory tyranny of an agency that has been captured by those it regulates (i.e., an incestuous relationship between the “regulators”, those “regulated”, and the politicians).
Perhaps a good first step is making FDA approval optional?
If it’s not FDA “approved”, then your right to sue or collect damages is limited in some fashion.
It’d be a start?
