I don't drink alcohol anymore, but when I did I avoided hangovers by simply drinking a glass of water before starting to drink alcohol and then another glass of water at every hour interval. The main cause of hangovers is dehydration and alcohol does just that.
As for lowering the blood alcohol amount, does this extends to actually reducing the effects of alcohol in things like judgement and reflexes or it will simply be a cheat sheet that can fool the alcohol meters used by cops in what otherwise would be a DUI stop?
Good point.
When I had passed a kidney stone, my MD said I needed to drink 3 glasses of water for every beer/drink I consumed, to remain healthy.
Rest assured my regular barkeep thought I was nuts, but gained respect after he served me 3 drinks of booze at the end of the night, having had 9 glasses of water in-between.
There are going to be people who get drunk, drink this, and still end up with a DUI.
When I opened the link that was what I thought they were targeting, people who don't want to get a DWI. They could sell it in bars at a huge profit. If it lowers the blood alcohol level, which I don't think it actually does, would that not mean they would not fail a roadside test?
People with liver disease or recovering alcoholics will now think it's OK to drink this, and I don't imagine the manufacturer is going to tell them otherwise. Besides this type of stuff, there are plenty of companies now that make "alcohol alternatives," for example a non-alcoholic liquid flavored with juniper that's supposed to impart the taste of gin to cocktails. I actually want to try one of the non-alcoholic tequila-tasting ones to see if I can make a decent tasting margarita.
I would hope that if one chooses to be a drinker, by a certain age, say... no later than some point in their 30s, they would have fully figured out how to avoid getting hangovers? I mean, who wants that?
I'd occasionally get those when I was in my early 20s, if only because I did not know "how" to drink, and would sometimes get hammered. Being that drunk, and the morning after feeling, are both awful feelings.
It didn't take all that far into adulthood to figure out that there is such a thing as limits, and you should be able to gauge that before getting into obliteration.

I'm a bit suspicious of it. However, people will try it and if it works, then word gets around and it will sell. The sales pitch sounds exactly like the sales pitch for miracle diet pills: eat all you want and still lose weight. Drink all you want and still drive safely and don't damage your liver.
it seems to me that people who drink to excess want the feeling of being drunk, so it is a bit less likely that they will use anything that removes that feeling, after they have spent so much money to get to feel that way.

That seems worth rethinking. I believe it's a facet of human behavior. Particularly of our young and inexperienced.
I agree. It’s not only Americans, but probably more likely to be Americans.
