In the ST universe, the Ferenghi invented (more likely stole) "Synthohol," an alcohol-like chemical that gets you drunk like alcohol, but if you shake your head, all of the effects disappear instantly. The Ferenghi would drink with this (and who they were negotiating with would drink their own stuff). Once everyone was drunk, the Ferenghi would instantly sober up and get the still-drunk "customer" to sign a deal very disadvantageous to the customer.
It turns out, someone has developed "alcosynth" (probably to avoid copyright infringement), which acts like alcohol, but doesn't dehydrate you (which causes hangovers). Could ‘alcosynth’ provide all the joy of booze – without the dangers?
