Payment in advance

Abstract: The puritan conscience holds that pleasure is sinful and should be followed by, and maybe even preceded by, pain. Daedalus is now inventing a drug appropriate for this stern view — it is an alcohol which gives you a hangover first. The chemistry is decidedly tricky, but the delayed rewards offered by the resulting ‘Pain and Pleasure Pill’ would have decidedly interesting applications.
