Researchers from Chungnam National University in Daejeon, South Korea say that increasing dissolved oxygen concentrations in alcohol may reduce drinking-related side effects and accidents. The Results will be published in Alcoholism: Clinical&Experimental Research. Scientists performed three experiments with 49 healthy volunteers (30 men, 19 women), with a mean age of 27.2 years. Experiment one compared 8 ppm and 20 ppm dissolved oxygen concentrations in 240 ml of 19.5 percent alcoholic beverage. The second compared 8 ppm and 20 ppm dissolved oxygen concentrations in 360 ml of 19.5 percent alcoholic beverage. The final experiment compared 8 ppm and 25 ppm dissolved oxygen concentrations in 360 ml of 19.5 percent alcoholic beverage. read more
