A synthetic called Alcosynth promises the positive effects of drinking without the nasty next-day consequences. Is it too good to be true?

We’ve heard just about every hangover remedy in the book, from the age-old advice to drink a glass of water and take two aspirin before bed, to recommendations for the boozy “hair of the dog.” But what if a hangover could be avoided altogether?
According to Professor David Nutt of the Imperial College London, hangovers will be gone by 2050 thanks to a synthetic he patented known as “Alcosynth.”
“It will be there alongside the scotch and the gin. They’ll dispense the Alcosynth into your cocktail and then you’ll have the pleasure without damaging your liver and your heart,” he told The Independent.

I find that copious amounts of di-hydrogen monoxide before bed will also mitigate the effects of a hangover. I tried to patent it but for some reason I’m still waiting on the paperwork.
Never happen.
Just say no.
and just what are those “positive effects” again?
Didn’t they have synthenol on Star Trek?
