North Korea announces breakthrough that dwarfs H-bomb test..
QUOTE
The outlet said the new Koryo Liquor is made with ginseng, a plant extract with many medicinal qualities, and glutinous rice instead of sugar. By removing sugar from the concoction, the researchers made the drink hangover-free, supposedly.
...
The country reportedly brews two types of liquor: "No. 1," which is made exclusively for Kim Jong Un, and "No. 2," for everyone else in the country, according to Lee.

I'll call their bluff.  Export it to Russia and see if it catches on.  They drink cologne and perfume over there.

It's hangover-free because it sounds alcohol-free.  What are they fermenting, if not a sugar?

Doesn't matter.  Let's assume there's a magical non-sugar catalyst for the reaction.  Alcohol = dehydration = hangover.  There is no chemical way around that unless you ultimately limit the alcohol intake.
