Professor David Nutt is the creative mind behind a new strand of libation called 'Alcosynth' that is able to provide hangover-free enjoyment. This is thanks to the intent to design a liquid with similar effects of alcohol -- minus the next day aftereffects. In addition, the drink will taste better than alcohol and [mix well in cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smiling-wolf-drinks).

'Alcosynth' is an [alternative to libation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-af) that ensures consumers can enjoy boozy beverages without harming their internal organs. The liquid also eliminates the bitter taste most alcohols have, while still mixing well with many [classic recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-alcoholfree-cocktails). Consumers opting for 'alcosynth' at the bar will omit the effects often caused by overconsumption of alcohol such as sickness, dry mouth and headaches.

Nutt hopes 'Alcosynth' will be a staple on bar rails by 2050.
