There could be a way to drink alcohol — and still stay sober.

Researchers in the U.S. and Australia say there could soon be a pill that lets people drink as much alcohol as they can handle without getting drunk.

Mice were given the experimental drug, and experts say the rodents didn’t even appear tipsy when they should have been.

The research is focused on the cells that make up 90% of the brain, which play a crucial role in the immune system.
