Filipino’s Vitamin Beer a hit in inventors’ gab

BANGKOK -- A beer that takes some of the guilt out of drinking, a system to stop would-be car bombers and, yes, even a better mousetrap, are on display as inventors from around the globe gather to revel in thinking outside the box.

It may just be a jam spreader from Taiwan or a “cat averter garbage bag” thought up by an Iranian, but many of the inventors from 27 countries are as enthusiastic about their creations as kids at their first birthday party.

“Every time you give inventors an opportunity to have their ideas seen, that’s what starts their blood flowing,” said Deb Hess, executive director of the Minnesota Inventors Congress.

More than 150 of their brainchildren are being unveiled at a conference of the International Federation of Inventors’ Association, a Hungary-based group celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

While many of the inventions are highly technical efforts -- possibly breakthroughs -- in the fields of medicine, agriculture and environment, crowds on Saturday at a cavernous convention center in Bangkok were rather drawn to displays such as the fail-safe hammock and Vitamin Beer.

“If you are looking for an excuse to take a swig, this is it,” said Billy L. Lalang, who concocted a beer mixed with Vitamin B, to replace this essential vitamin lost when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed.

Although yet to be marketed, this “prophylactic for drinkers” as the Filipino inventor calls it, has won a gold medal at the European Union-sponsored Genius-Europe competition.

Lalang, president of the Manila Innovation Development Society, said he had 42 inventions to his name, including a one-a-day lollipop, packed with vitamins and other essentials for undernourished children.

a beer mixed with Vitamin B, to replace this essential vitamin lost when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed.

they would still be alcoholics in a sense BUT without the vitamin B deficiency that too much alcohol brings.

1 set red horse please!!!

so the Vit. B in this beer cant be diluted by the alcohol?
I thought the alcohol can deplete the Vit B in our system?

[giddyboy]

nice one! up for this!

i just hope SMB and Red Horse makers will put Vit B on their beer...ayos!

[INFRACTION]

nutritious BEER
i don't know if the liver can handle too much vitamin B hehehe

[godsaint]

I think this could only be applicable for the one bottle drinkers.For me basin ma overdose ko sa vitamin B.

IF the Genius-Europe competition awarded Billy Lalang a gold medal for this invention, don't you think they (members of Genius-Europe) haven't covered your question? hmmmm.. I guess you thought wrong. unless you consider yourself a genius in any stretch of the imagination...

I'm not really that much interested if vitamin B will be diluted by alcohol 'coz for sure this guy already figured it out. and by receiving a gold award his invention, I think, has been thoroughly tested by the International Federation of Inventors’ Association or any accredited body.

what I'm proud of is that a Filipino made a breakthrough and invented this beer.

that alone is a cause for celebration!!!

stay cool dude, i was just asking...just asking...im no genius thats why nangutana ko. cheer up!!!honestly, you don't have to be a genius to understand that simple article. thorough reading plus understanding of what you read is enough.

and FYI: I'm cool. I've always been cool.

back to topic:

I just hope Mr. Lalang and his advisers could figure out a way of wisely marketing this invention. making a deal with Anheuser-Busch brewery, the number 1 beer manufacturer in the world, would be a good start. but if majority of the world's beer manufacturers would want a piece of the pie, the better.
