From France comes this new beverage called "Security Feel Better", billed as a "digestive drink", designed to counter the effects of alcohol.

It's described as an alcohol-free, after-dinner drink made with plant extracts, designed to help you digest food and other drinks.

But it's mainly targeted towards breaking down any alcohol you may have consumed, before it causes you to become inebriated. Hence the name "Security Feel Better".

The new security beverage has a distinctive pear flavor, and comes in a 30ml bottle, small enough to carry in a coat pocket, handbag, or glove compartment. The manufacturer, PPN SA, says that after drinking a full 30ml bottle, consumers can expect to feel results within 45 minutes. The product website says it's made of all natural ingredients, with artichoke as a primary substance, and is completely harmless.
