[Old wine in new bottles: the "promille-killer" Party Plus].

Abstract

We report about the allegedly new sobering up preparation called PARTY-PLUS, the ingredients of which resemble very much those of the inefficient "drink with a sobering up effect NEUKAMM-lemonade". In a drinking experiment Verum vs. Placebo (a light mineral water) the inefficiency of the alcohol elimination kinetics is proved once again, especially with regards to the extent of success suggested in advertising. Official bodies of administration of justice and legislation are called upon to oppose such doings of manufacturers and distributors more firmly. This is necessary because expected side effects and health hazards due to the high fructose contents are deliberately played down or concealed altogether.
