Last time I looked into this I decided I wouldn't want to try it even if it did work. ADH2 works by converting alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is not something you want absorbed in your bloodstream (instant hangover): http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/drugs-alcohol/hangover4.htm http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/drugs-alcohol/hango...

If a synthetic acetaldehyde dehydrogenase supplement could be scared-up (converts acetaldehyde into acetic acid) then hangovers could be a thing of the past. FWIW coming from NW Celt stock (Norman French, Dutch, et al) I never suffered from hangovers, given seeming continued expression of the lactase enzyme (can drink milk like water) and high acetaldehyde dehydrogenase output when stupid enough to over-imbibe (like on college and grad-school weekends).
