Yes and No. Yes, because if you are 21 and get drunk go for it its your choice. No, because it makes drinking more likely to happen in teens and adults anyway. Yes, I think it will remain on the market because everyone will keep buying it.

I think it’s a good Idea because a lot of people get hangovers. It might last awhile it depends how people react to the pill. I don’t think there will be any repercussions.

I think it is a good idea. I'm not sure if it will actually work or not but it may. If it works I think it will stay on the market if it doesn't then it will probably be taken away.

I think that the hangover pill is a good idea because everyone who turns 21 goes out and gets plastered! They might have to work the next morning to, I know I wouldn’t want to go to work with a hangover, so the hangover pill will take care of the hurting. I think maybe if you take too in a day it will mess you up. Might even lead to you being in the hospital (depending on the dosage and how many you took that day.) I think it will defiantly remain on the market. I having a good feeling it will stay on the market for a couple of years, that way people can get drunk and then wake up the next morning and take the pill and go on with the day with out a headache or hangover.

I don't think that the hangover will be a good idea. I don't think it will be good because no one knows how their body will react to the pill. There may be repercussions for this drug if it becomes available. I don't think it will remain in the market for a long time because people may take advantage of the pill.

I'm in between saying yes and no. If released, yes I think it is a good idea because at some point people do want to let loose and have fun. The down side to this pill, is teenagers taking it to their full advantage. It will most likely be kept on market because of so many people buying it. So many people drink as it is; for football, clubs, and parties, and most likely they have to work the next day; so they will need the pill.

I don't think it's a good thing because it could cause problems in the body. I don't think the pill will remain on the market because it could harm someone, I believe.

I do not think the hangover pill is a good idea because now people can go out and drink. Then every body will be out drinking and then it will not be just on the weekends any more. Than will thank that it will be fin to do it all the time. And In the long run it will only hurt you.

I really think that it is a good idea. It may work but then again it may not. I think that if it is effective against a hangover, than it will stay on the market for a long time, but then if it isn't very effective then it won't stay on the market for very long.

The Hangover Pill is a good idea. People are always gonna drink and this pill might help it. I don't think there will be any repercussions from this drug. This pill would stay on the market. It will last most likely 10 or more years.

Yes and No. Yes cause for the people that get drunk and have parties and stuff and have to go to work the nest morning will have enough energy and wont feel like crap, No because that's gone make people drink even more specially ones under age people. I believe it will make the market and if it does stay on the market it should only be sold only to 21 and over.

I think the hangover pill is a great idea. As humans, whenever we feel bad our first instinct is to take some kind of medicine and a hangover is no different. Like with all drugs, I’m sure there will be some kind of repercussions because it’s a valid argument to say that people will be more likely to drink excessively if they know they can just take a pill the next day and feel better instead of having to suffer through a hangover. If released, I do believe this pill will remain on the market for a very long time. Once it has been FDA approved, I can’t see them taking it off of the market unless they can prove that it is a direct result of some kind of disastrous repercussion.

I think that it is a good idea. It will help people who wake up in the morning get rid of a hangover. There probably will be a few repercussions. One of the major problems that might happen could be people taking the pill with alcohol thinking they are supposed to. I think that the pill will be on the market for awhile.

I couldn’t be more honest when I say that this is stupid. I do not think that it is anywhere near a good idea. Having a pill just makes it look like it is ok to drink and that’s not the impression I would want my kids to have. I’m pretty sure that if the pill is released that you’ll have to be twenty one since that’s the legal drinking age, but just like now, minors will have access to it. The woman on the show was right when she said that the pill may make you feel better, but it doesn’t decrease or stop the damage that the alcohol does to your body.

I really do think the hangover pill is a good idea. A lot of people drink on Sunday and Monday night while watching football and have to work the next day. I do think there will be repercussions to this drug being made available. I think one will be that there will be an age limit to buying them, and the price would probably be a little high. If this pill is released I do not think it will remain on the market too long. I think it will last about a year or a year and a half because they wouldn't have a need for it.

Keith Bryant: The hangover pill, if it works yes people will buy it and will increase the drinking rate. young people will definitely take this into there atvantage. It will last a while.

i think the hangover pill has its pros and cons, it could be good in a way it would cause more people and buy drinks and bring more money in. it could be bad to cause more people to be alcoholics. i think the pill will stay on the market cause everyone will buy it.
