Hangover-free beer sounds great! Maybe NOT as great as “free beer” but at least scientist in Australia have their priorities right. As reported by TDB, a team of researchers in the Griffith Health Institute in Queensland:

One of the more practical competitions was how water beats Gatorade on everything but taste. Just add some sugar and some yellow 6 to your water and it’d be a shutout.
