<p>Good news for tipplers! A simple patch can put an end to that morning-after hangover from a night of alcohol revellery.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The Bytox Hangover Prevention Patch claims to stop hangovers even before they start as users are instructed to attach the body patch 45 minutes before drinking. An invention of a US plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr Leonard Grossman, the patch has gone on sale in the UK following its launch in New York late last year, the Daily Mail reported.<br /><br />According to the packaging, the patch replenishes the vitamins and acids lost when consuming alcohol - in the same way that the intravenous ‘party drip’ vitamin injections.<br /><br />The patch has not received any official medical backing either in the UK or in the US.<br />It has, however, received glowing reviews from consumers who have posted on websites, with one writing: “I tried it twice. Both times after nine or 10 martinis. I can only account for myself. It works great”. Users are instructed to attach the patch - which is similar in appearance and design to a nicotine patch - 45 minutes before drinking and leave it on until the next day or about eight hours after they finish drinking.<br /><br />Grossman has claimed that the ingredients - B vitamins, acai berry, vitamins A, D, E and K and folic - are delivered continuously to the bloodstream as opposed to those from a pill which are excreted relatively quickly. Firebox, which is selling the patch in the UK, said on its website: “The rationale for this ‘game changing’ body patch is to stop hangovers before they start.<br /><br />“Easily applied, it is infused with a powerful blend of vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants which are absorbed whilst imbibing, meaning a faster recovery time,” it said.<br />The patches cost 12.99 pounds for a pack of five.</p>
