Life imitates art, and if you're constantly picturing yourself as one of the guys in the "Hangover" trilogy, then you need this. A revolutionary new drink was invented by entrepreneurs Sanam Petri and Douglas Wolfson to battle hangovers, the Telegraph reports. The pair came up with the idea when they learned of a similar concepts from medical students who needed to quickly get back on the horse after a night of hard partying.

The drink, aptly called "Ohayo"—which means "good morning" in Japanese, contains B vitamins, electrolytes, and other natural ingredients such as milk thistle, which helps the body recuperate after a large consumption of alcohol.

The Independent notes: "The vitamins work on reducing headaches and fatigue, potassium aims to maintain a normal blood pressure and the milk thistle is meant to boost liver activity."

According to the brand's website, the drink is "designed to help your body actively eliminate toxins while replacing essential nutrients." They further explain that the B vitamins in the drink is there to fight fatigue and help with headaches, while the magnesium helps support electrolyte balance. Potassium helps maintain normal blood pressure. The drink must be consumed before going to bed, and the brand assures that you will wake up with less feelings of dryness in the mouth, less headaches and other effects of drinking.

Ohayo was tested by Ben Foreman of the student magazine The Tab, where he reported: "A dry throat was all that separated the morning from any other, and a quick pint of water sorted that out moments later."

The Mirror adds that according to Foreman, "To the surprise of all involved, everyone who tried it with me woke up feeling great. We were back to our normal morning activities without any of the horrible experiences of the hangover we deserved."

The Telegraph reports that Petri and Wolfson tested Ohayo for four years and yielded 100% success rate among their test subjects.

“We started off playing around with the formula, making batches for ourselves and our friends,” Wolfson told The Drinks Business. "But when everyone we knew started begging us for more, we thought it made sense to share it with the wider public. It always helps, without fail."

The 2 kcal, £3.60 per 50ml drink can currently be purchased online through ohayotomorrow.com and can be delivered anywhere in the U.K. The bottle also features a detachable sticker that you can stick on your door or mirror as a friendly reminder to consume it before going to bed.
