North Korea always amazes me. Either they are truly the most prolific nation on the planet or they really, really like to tell little white lies. 

So when I saw a story out of North Korea today that claimed to have created an alcohol that would not give you a hangover I read it with a slight suspicion.  We're talking this is the nation that has claimed to have a miracle drug to cure most cancers, Ebola, AIDS. They have staked claim in the invention of the hamburger.  And Kim Jong II was actually said to have a super power that enabled him to never have to use the bathroom. Sometimes I wish I had that super power, mainly on road trips and airplanes.

North Korea reportedly brews two types of liquor (you'll love this): "No. 1" which is made exclusively for Kim Jong Un and "No. 2" which is made for everyone else in the country.   The "hangover free" alcohol is allegedly made with ginseng and glutinous rice instead of sugar, the alcohol content is said to be between 30 to 40 percent. Your average beer has about a 3 to 10 percent alcohol content.

You keep doing you, Kim Jong Un.
