NURSE INVENTS SOBRIETY SOFT DRINK



BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Wireless Flash) – A registered nurse in Beverly Hills has invented a soft drink that makes drunk people sober. 25-year-old Erin Reed was working at a Los Angeles liver transplant clinic when she discovered an ingredient used to protect human livers for transportation also helps reduce blood alcohol levels. After the sobering revelation, Reed took the secret ingredient and created an apple-lime-flavored beverage called “Sober-X.” Reed’s spokesman, William Chang, claims the new drink can reduce a person’s blood alcohol level by up to 40 percent. He says the soda actually promotes responsible drinking because “people who use it want to get sober.” However, the price of the beverage could drive you to drink: 7 bucks for a 1.4-ounce bottle.
