If this is for real, you might be able to celebrate next year's Super Bowl WITHOUT puking off your friend's porch and falling into the bushes. Scientists in Denmark claim they've figured out how to make non-alcoholic beer taste exactly like the real thing.

Normally, they remove the alcohol by heating the beer up, or letting it ferment less. But that tends to make it taste kind of flat and watery. The new method involves adding molecules called monoterpenoids.

Basically, it adds back in the hoppy flavor that real beer has, and they claim it's a "game changer." They say it could be ready for public consumption by October.
