Visitors of the Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich, southern Germany, raise their beer glasses just after the festival’s opening on September 17, 2016. 
If you’ve woken up a time or two (or five or six) hating your past-self for downing that last shot of Fireball or chugging that sixth can of Green Line, science is now on your side.
A British scientist has developed an “alcohol substitute” that will still get you tipsy AF without waking up feeling like death in the morning, according to a report by the Washington Post. And if that wasn’t enough to sell you on it, the substitute could also help you avoid abusing your liver or other vital organs.
It also doesn’t have calories, which we probably should have led with. Yeah, yeah—no hangovers and failing internal organs is cool, but getting wasty-faced without the extra poundage it brings? Yes, please.
