“This is what my brain looks like,” says David Nutt, showing me an intense abstract painting by a friend of his that is sitting on the windowsill in his office. Nutt’s base at Hammersmith hospital has a cozy, lived-in feel – a stark contrast to the gleaming white laboratory he oversees as director of the neuropsychopharmacology unit at Imperial College London. Lab coats hang on a hook by the door, an ancient kettle sits in the corner and next to the painting is an unruly collection of objects that offer clues to his research interests: brain-shaped awards, an atomic model of Nutt’s invention for detecting inflammation in the brain of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients, a poster for the 1967 film LSD Flesh of Devil and two carved wooden mushrooms – the final items hinting at his role at Imperial’s psychedelic research group.
All that is missing is something to do with the demon drink, to reflect Nutt’s ambitious plan to bring a safe synthetic alcohol substitute called Alcarelle to the masses. Nutt has long been developing a holy grail of molecules – also referred to as “alcosynth” – that will provide the relaxing and socially lubricating qualities of alcohol, but without the hangovers, health issues and the risk of getting paralytic. It sounds too good to be true, and when I discuss the notion with two alcohol industry experts, they independently draw parallels with plans to colonize Mars.
★译文参考:
“这是我大脑的样子,”大卫·纳特说。他向我展示了朋友放在他办公室窗台上一幅浓烈抽象画。纳特在哈默史密斯医院的基地有一种舒适、充满生活气息的感觉,和他作为伦敦帝国理工学院神经精神药理学科室负责人所管理的、一尘不染的明亮实验室形成鲜明对比。白大褂挂在门边挂钩上,一把老旧水壶摆在角落,画作旁边堆放着一堆五花八门的物件,这些物件暗示着他的研究方向:大脑造型奖杯、他发明的用于检测阿尔茨海默病、帕金森患者脑部炎症的原子模型、1967年电影《LSD:魔鬼之肉》海报,还有两个木雕蘑菇——这些物件暗示了他在帝国理工迷幻药物研究小组中的身份。
还差一件和酒相关的东西,用来体现纳特一个雄心勃勃的计划:把一款名叫Alcarelle的安全合成酒精替代品推向大众。纳特长期以来一直在研发分子领域的“圣杯”——也叫alcosynth,它可以带来酒精那种放松、促进社交的效果,却没有宿醉、健康损害以及重度醉酒的风险。这听起来好得难以置信。当我和两位酒业专家聊起这个构想时,他们不约而同把它比作殖民火星计划。
