Abstract

An anti-intoxication composition and method of making and using are provided for treating and preventing drinker's remorse and other toxic effects of excessive alcohol consumption by humans. The anti-intoxication composition is an acidic mixture containing sweeteners, flavoring agents, food additives and a processed mixture of metallic salts, sulfuric acid, ammonium sulfate and water. When the anti-intoxication composition is ingested, it promotes the beneficial metabolism of alcohol, primarily ethanol, in the body. The beneficial metabolism results in the conversion of alcohol to amino acids and eliminates the toxic reactions of a hangover, including, but not limited to, a pounding headache, nausea, dry mouth, shaking hands, hypersensitivity to bright lights and sounds.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An anti-intoxication composition made by the process of: 
 (a) combining sulfuric acid of approximately 94% purity to approximately 99.9% purity in a 1 to 2 volume ratio with distilled water and ammonium sulfate in a ratio of 2.77 pounds of ammonium sulfate per gallon of distilled water to provide mixture (I);    (b) combining the mixture (I) in a pressurized vessel at a pressure that is above atmospheric pressure and heating the mixture at a temperature in a range between approximately 200 degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, for at least 30 minutes;    (c) cooling the mixture;    (d) adding a stabilizer which is a portion of mixture (I) and comprises 10 weight percent of the total weight of mixture (I), thereby forming mixture (II);    (e) adding a compound containing metallic ions to mixture (II) to form mixture (III);    (f) diluting mixture (III) with water; and    (g) adding at least one of a sweetener, a flavoring agent and a food additive to provide a composition that converts ethanol to amino-ethanoic acid.    
     
     
         2 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 1 , wherein the metallic ions are selected from the group consisting of copper ions, silver ions, zinc ions, magnesium ions and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         3 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 1 , wherein the compound containing metallic ions is selected from at least one of: copper sulfate, copper sulfate pentahydrate, copper glutamate, zinc oxide, zinc glutamate, magnesium glutamate, magnesium sulfate, silver oxide and silver sulfate.  
     
     
         4 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of applying direct current (DC) voltage to mixture (I) during the addition of ammonium sulfate.  
     
     
         5 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 4 , wherein the DC voltage is in a range from approximately 1 amp to approximately 100 amps.  
     
     
         6 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 5 , wherein the DC voltage is in a range from approximately 1 amp to approximately 5 amps.  
     
     
         7 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 1  wherein the sweetener is selected from the group consisting of xylitol, sorbitol and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         8 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 4 , wherein the ratio of the water used to form a solution of the compound containing metallic ions to the total weight of mixture (III) is in a range between approximately 2% to approximately 75% by weight.  
     
     
         9 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 1 , wherein the flavoring agent is selected from the group consisting of ginger and citrus essence.  
     
     
         10 . The anti-intoxication composition made by the process of  claim 1 , wherein the food additive is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, ascorbic acid, sodium benzoate, potassium benzoate, vitamin B6 and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         11 . A method of making an anti-intoxication composition for conversion of ethanol to an amino acid in the human body, comprising the steps of: 
 (a) adding sulfuric acid of approximately 94 percent purity to a first container;    (b) heating distilled water in a ratio of twice the volume of the sulfuric acid in a separate container to at least 140° F.;    (c) mixing ammonium sulfate in the heated water in a ratio of 2.77 pounds per gallon of water to form mixture (I);    (d) simultaneously combining the mixture of sulfuric acid, heated distilled water, and ammonium sulfate (mixture I) in a separate pressurized vessel by injection;    (e) heating the pressurized mixture to a temperature in a range between approximately 200° F. and approximately 1200° F. for approximately 30 minutes to form mixture (II);    (f) cooling mixture (II) and adding a stabilizer portion of mixture (I) to the cooled mixture, wherein the stabilizer comprises approximately 10 weight percent of the total weight of mixture (II);    (g) adding a compound containing metallic ions to mixture II to form mixture (III), a stable suspension of metallic ions;    (h) diluting mixture III with water;    (i) adding at least one of a sweetener, a flavoring agent and a food additive to form a refreshing liquid; and    (j) administering an effective amount to counteract the intoxicating effects of alcohol consumption in a human being.    
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the metallic ions are selected from the group consisting of copper ions, silver ions, zinc ions, magnesium ions and mixtures thereof.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the compound containing metallic ions is selected from at least one of: copper sulfate, copper sulfate pentahydrate, copper glutamate, zinc oxide, zinc glutamate, magnesium glutamate, magnesium sulfate, silver oxide and silver sulfate.
