A new pill designed to stop you from getting a hangover is now on the market in the UK. The tablet from probiotic firm Myrkl is designed to break down alcohol in the gut before it gets to the liver. The CEO of Myrkl said it’s designed for moderate drinkers, and not those planning to get drunk.
The Army is investigating a breach of its social media channels, after its official Twitter and YouTube accounts were hacked. Its YouTube was flooded with videos on cryptocurrency and pictures of Elon Musk, and its official Twitter account retweeted several posts apparently about NFTs.
