I tested the new anti-hangover pills: are they really effective?

Above all, it is not a question here of advocating alcohol or any deviance whatsoever, but of testing a product that is at best original and life-saving, at worst a vegan placebo made from natural. Alcohol abuse is dangerous for health and not drinking alcohol remains the best and only true remedy for all the problems that can arise from excessive consumption.

The bases being laid, we will therefore be able to take an interest in these famous Myrkl pills (pronounced Miracle in English) which have been talked about for a few months in England in particular.

The top of the best remedies from grandmothers to avoid having a hangover

With us, those who have already done research on the net to combat a difficult morning, a hangover, have been able to find a whole host of tips from grandmothers, the best known of which is undoubtedly “ alternate a glass of alcohol with a glass of water”.

Then, among all the good practices gleaned from right to left, we find grandma’s honey tea, the detox cure to empty the liver, the anti-emetic charcoal, the famous Baking soda that your friend Julie always has in her bag ” I SWEAR you it works, it’s awesome, with it you can drink whatever you want » and finally, without doubt our favorite when we were still 20 years old « treating evil with evil », I’m not drawing you a picture…

Water or vodka?

And I don’t know if it’s because we’re getting older and we’ve all passed our forties in my group of friends, but I have the impression that the aftermath of evenings is more and more difficult to assume… And again, I don’t have children, I don’t even know how my friends do with kids who bawl from 6am. In short, I digress, here the subject is “how to avoid having (too) a headache the day after the evening without going into total abstinence mode?”.

“Better” drinking, better quality alcohol, in less quantity, a priori that now I know how to do (the privilege of age no doubt). But that doesn’t prevent us from always having this little gray cloud above our heads that reminds us that it’s winter, that it’s gray and cold and that we really haven’t won the world despite Mbappé’s hat-trick in the final (yes, the trauma is likely to last until 2026 and that may be where this headache comes from that won’t go away). Anyway, for all this, I couldn’t find any effective grandmother’s remedy, so I decided to rely on… science!

Myrkl, the magic pill from the Far North

Just look at the list of British publications that talk about it, The Telegraph, the Daily Mail, The Sun, iNews and even the Times where some do not hesitate to talk about “An act of God“to think that it would be a shame to miss such a discovery. Perhaps the greatest in the history of parties and aperitifs with a capital “A”?

Developed in Sweden since 1990, the formula was constantly refined and improved before being launched with great fanfare on the European market. Its composition? Nothing too bad, since there are probiotics (good bacteria for the body), L-cysteine (a kind of antioxidant) and vitamin B12. And that’s about it. Suffice to say that at this level, you risk nothing.

On the other hand, the risk could come from an overconsumption of alcohol because we say to ourselves that we are “protected” by the pills, but we are talking here about moderate and controlled consumption and for which we want to reduce the harmful effects.

Myrkl’s promise is quite simple, “to eliminate up to 70% of the alcoholic substance in the intestine” to avoid the hangover the following day in particular.

100% objective guaranteed test conditions and results

Small precision, and not the least, the Myrkl pill will do nothing for you in the event of a heavy burn or an alcoholic coma. This comes in the form of a food supplement to be taken BEFORE you start drinking. It is advisable to take 2 pills about 2 hours before the start of the evening or the aperitif. The latter will also not be able to reduce your “alcohol level” and thus escape controls. No, the goal is to limit the hangover effect of the next day as much as possible and nothing else.

The Moscow Mule, the fashionable cocktail

For this test, we were 4, two men and two women around forty. Between 8 p.m. and midnight, some drank up to 4 Moscow Mules (Vodka, Ginger Beer, Angostura and lime), others started with 2 Moscow Mules and then rose wine. Not a big drink either, but well above the maximum rate when driving (which obviously wasn’t the case that evening), and enough to have a little bar the next morning.

Summary of the races, on the 4 “testers”, the two women and one of the two men had absolutely no negative effects the next morning, the last one had a little headache, but no hangover or pasty mouth. We can therefore say that the result is satisfactory.

Myrkl, the magic pill, yes, but…

At the moment of concluding this “experience”, several feelings intertwine in us. From a purely practical and pragmatic point of view, it cannot be denied that the result is satisfactory in 3 out of 4 cases.. Even though the placebo effect may be there, the bet seems successful.

And if we have no doubt that responsible adults will be able to use this product as it should and as it should (prevent the hangover the next day), we can not deny that the process is somewhat disturbing and that it is absolutely not a license to drink at will for the youngest and most fragile.

It is in this sense that health professionals protest against this type of product (which does not present any risk in itself), for fear that people will allow themselves to do anything under the pretext that they will not have no side effects the next day. It’s wrong. If you drink too much, you will have drunk too much and nothing can save your (bad) burn. You will then only have to pray that your grandmother’s remedies will save you the day…
