Working on an invention to reduce hangovers and improve hard liquor taste

The miracle berry blocks sour taste receptors and makes everything taste sweet. I’ve been researching whether the same concept works for alcohol — specifically blocking the bitter/harsh receptors that ethanol triggers, making spirits taste smoother without adding sugar or changing the drink.

The idea is a dissolvable strip you place on your tongue before your first drink. Two things happen: the bitterness softens noticeably, and compounds in the strip (DHM + L-Cysteine, both researched for hangover reduction) help your body clear acetaldehyde — the main reason you feel rough the next morning.

One strip. Smoother drink. Better morning.

Genuinely asking before I build anything: would you use this? Would $2-3 per strip be reasonable? What would make you trust it or not? Are there specific drinks you’d most want this for — cheap whiskey, bitter IPAs, straight spirits?

Give me feedback please!
