In Finland we have just found a scientifically
proven cure for hangover.
A substance called L-Cysteine.
You might have heard this if you too are a
keen reader of scientific journal Alcohol
and Alcoholism.
Or if you live in Finland, this was published
in every major news outlet.
You must have a thirst for some good news
for a change, so in this video I’m going
to present to you and the world this great
Finnish invention.
And I’m also going to try it out myself.
Except that this pill is not the pill I’m
talking about because the pill was instantly
sold out almost everywhere so the first challenge
is to find
the pill.
But let’s rewind to the scientific process.
In this experiment the test subjects consumed
alcohol for three hours during three different
evenings, in this hotel and in this very room.
And they took pills that contained either
the miracle substance or just placebo.
And the scientists found out that L-cysteine
had a statistically significant effect on
hangover.
The scientists had some problems conducting
this experiment.
Some of the test subjects wouldn’t stop
drinking and they just continued their night
in the hotel bar, resulting to their removal
from the actual test.
Welcome to Finland!
The pills were really hard to find and the
answer was always the same:
They were sold out the day the news broke.
Finally after visiting four other stores I
found a bottle.
So I wanna try these out myself now.
This needs a field test!
We’re going to perform a NORMIKÄNNI, normal
drinking which is a totem of Finnish culture.
We’re drinking PUSSIKALJA, bagbeer.
Which is just beer inside plastic bag.
To make this video appear more relevant I
invited some Finnish Youtube influencers to
make a collaboration that could easily pass
as the secondmost stupid Youtube collab ever
made in Finland.
The most stupid must be the one where these
guys drank 100 shots.
We’re going to drink and take the pills
during this evening.
There’s just one catch.
One of us will get fake, placebo pills and
tomorrow we're going to guess did we get
the real pills or not.
Let’s start this collaboration.
This collaboration is f*cking awesome
Yeah
I’m really f*cking drunk.
It’s now 9:30, and I actually feel pretty
ok.
So I guess I did get the medicine...
But I don’t know if I would feel much different
without the medicine.
Compared to the amount of alcohol we enjoyed
last night, I’m feeling pretty good.
I had almost the baddest hangover ever.
I almost puked.
I never puke when I have hangover.
Actually I’m feeling now pretty ok But when
I woke up I had a huge headache.
And I usually don’t get it.
I’m feeling quite alright.
But then again I don’t really get that bad
hangovers in the first place.
So I don’t know..
If I had to guess did I get the medicine or
placebo, I would still say I got placebo.
Because there’s no substantial difference
in how I’m feeling.
I think I got the real deal.
So I’m pretty sure I didn’t get the real
medication.
I would say I didn’t get it.
Because of the headache.
Miku was the one with the fake pills.
So there were two people who didn’t feel
anything even if they got the real medicine.
–You did get the real medicine.
–Really?
That’s weird, that’s really weird.
I’m kind of like sad because I got the real
one and it didn’t work for me.
I wouldn’t buy that!
Doesn’t get my seal of approval.
And to be honest, we who reported felt something,
were not that sure about it either.
Yeah, I’m not impressed.
So maybe you shouldn't expect this to be a
miracle cure that completely removes your
hangover.
But also, I don’t have any reason to doubt
the scientific evidence that this thing now
has.
I’m sure that we are witnessing the birth
of the NATIONAL MEDICINE OF FINLAND.
But I would like to try this again, any time,
with the boys.
It was fun!
