Interesting.. any efforts into a healthy drunk?
It just can't be the case that there isn't one out there?
As its in rats it could just be a cotton mouth or similar dehydration symptom reaction to the medication. Humans that take the medication could just choose not to take it to avoid negative side effects that discourage alcohol intake.

Do you mean drinking excessively and chronically and not having any negative effects on your health at all?
I was editing my post as you posted in.
I don't think no negative effects at all, but an alcohol like drug that is not so devastating to the body would be quite nice.

Yeah. I totally agree.
Alcohol really is a hell of a drug. I think a lot of people wish they could drink daily and not have hangovers and stomach issues and everything else that comes with it.
Sadly, it really devastates people who use it in excess.
so we have kidneys with
Edit: with diethyl ether we also have possible significant alcoholism increase in a population. link may be indicated in the prevalence of DE in Irish history.

Have kidneys with?
The report shows a possible link with DE and kidney damage
I’m not understanding why you’re referring DE. Maybe I’m missing something.
You posted a link for NJ hazardous chemical. I’m confused.
So diethyl ether is a strong replacement candidate for ethyl alcohol. It produces very similar effects. Its consumption is relatively safe.. aka the likely hood of overdose is small as people get to fucked up to administer further doses a long time before they are even close to critical level. Its been a bit since I looked into this, but I don't think it carries a hang over due to its metabolism. As the warning sheet indicates, it may be eliminated through the kidneys as opposed to the liver.
The addiction issue is that it was used very prevalently in Ireland. Depending on the sources used Ireland has A high rate of alcoholism and drug addiction.
Many sources state that Ireland has a very high proportion of alcoholics. Its certainly a stereotype, but almost every stereotype has roots in reality. This I found a little hard to follow, but will throw it out in the discussion.

A problem with diethyl ether is it may be healthier, but also may be quite addicting, possibly leading to generational alcoholism increases. This may be shown by current alcoholism rates in Ireland; Ireland was a country that embraced diethyl ether with pretty open arms. But its blurry.. is it a cause or just another way to get drunk for a population thats inclined to get hammered?
My take is that its probably more addictive, but less physically harmful.

A great race of drinkers? Irish interpretations of alcoholism and drinking stereotypes, 1945–1975 - PMC
From the 1930s, psychiatrists and sociologists documented the prevalence of Irish alcohol-related psychiatric admissions in the United States. These studies seemed to suggest that the Irish, as a race, had a remarkable relationship with drink, ...

Ether is way more depraved than ethanol, and you stink for like 24 + hours. My friend got kicked out of an uber hours after finishing an ether binge (and its really moreish, just as nitrous can get).
It's way easier to drink moderately than to do ether (orally or inhalation) moderately. The flammability and the smell on your body put it in the class of drugs I really kind of avoid.

Its metabolized by the liver and eliminated through the kidneys, but most is exhaled.
