Creating Synthetic Alcohol
We have a funny relationship with alcohol.
Many of us enjoy how it can make us more outgoing or ready to laugh but for others, it can be a source of significant, long-term problems.
So could a synthetic alcohol - which provides the relaxing and socially lubricating qualities of alcohol without the hangovers - be a solution?
Professor David Nutt, Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, and the man behind Alcarelle, joined Jonathan to discuss.
Dr. Shane Bergin & Dr. Lara Dungan also joined Jonathan to run through the week's science news in Newsround.
