Is there a possibility in science where they'll be able to make something that will counteract or defeat drunkenness in such a way that if you get drunk you can drink something to make it go away real quick? Like curing a fever or a cough? Do you think it will be possible, if not now, but in the future, for something(maybe a drug) to alter the human body and remove the cause of drunkenness? So you can theoretically drink all you want, afterwards you'll drink something and then the drunkenness will go away?

Hello there, would there be a proper StackExchange for this question? I thought this would be the site for questions like this but it seems I have to put in a source where I am skeptical of the claim(that science can cure drunkenness or intoxication), but the thought of it came from my mind alone. I tried looking at Google to see if there's a related article but I couldn't find one. – NotDrunk Sep 10 '14 at 08:51

The closest articles I could find were about questions if coffee can help make you sober: [Can drinking coffee help a person sober up?](http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/mythbusters-database/drinking-coffee-when-drunk-makes-sober.htm) and [Does Coffee Sober Up a Drunk?](http://chemistry.about.com/od/foodchemistryfaqs/f/Does-Coffee-Sober-Up-A-Drunk.htm), I don't know if these are considered notable though. – NotDrunk Sep 10 '14 at 08:52

1One last comment, I'm aiming specifically for inducing sobriety and eliminating drunkenness from a person instead of a cure for the hangover. – NotDrunk Sep 10 '14 at 08:55

Concrete claims that a quick googling uncovers: Iomazenil and Dihydromyricetin. – Anton Sep 10 '14 at 18:40
