Hey guys, wanted to give another update. I wrote about my experiences a few pages back: both Pepcid & Zantac works for me and have helped me for several years.

Something happened to my body chemistry in the past year. I used to turn beet red after a beer, used Pepcid for 7 years, and most recently made an interesting discovery =o

I spent almost a year working in France, living in a hotel, and have fallen asleep to many bottles of wine. I ran out of Pepcid at some point, and began having as much as one bottle by myself towards the end of my stay. I found that I was able to drink that much while maintaining a pink glow--what used to take 20mg Pepcid  a few years ago.

I can stay pink with around 1 drink every half hour. Any more than that and I'd split a 10mg tablet, and take ~5mg for insurance.

You guys won't believe the confidence this gives me, to walk around without a pill in my pocket when I go out for a beer with my co-workers. I asked a chemist friend and she gave me the "you might've developed the enzyme for breaking down the alcohol." Maybe someone can give some insight on this.

And that has been my journey so far. Does anyone else have a similar story?

I usually take Pepcid 20mg 15 minutes before drinking, usually on an empty stomach. College was a few years back, so I don't find myself in too many situations where I have to take shots.. but 30mg is a must for birthdays/Vegas. Once again, 15 minutes are all I need to maintain slight pinkness.

I usually eat at the same time I start drinking, and it definitely slows down the alcohol.  Around 30 minutes in and I can start downing a beer every 15-20 minutes.

The most I've done is 14 drinks while on holiday, from 2PM-2AM, almost one drink per hour. I took 20mg to begin my day, and 10mg around the 9PM mark when I felt like the pepcid wasn't working anymore.

No, I have never experimented with both Zantac & Pepcid. Both works for me at the standard dosage level =]

And please.. I urge you guys to reconsider the effects of going over the recommended dosage. 60mg is a lot! I'm sure there's been extensive discussion on this in the last 45 pages, but too lazy to read.

Maybe I'll try the NoGlo supplement next..

Hello folks, I discovered this forum many years ago when I first went to college. It's time to give back =]

Stats: Vietnamese male, 5'6, 145 lbs, one beer = tomato face + hives + pulsating heartbeat

I began taking 1x Pepcid AC Max (20mg) when we would drink in college. With just 20mg, my face still gets a little pink, but the other symptoms are completely gone. And this is going from beet red with just one dose. If I take shots, my face gets more pink, and my heart definitely beats faster, but both goes away within 15 minutes.Most nights I can have 6-8 drinks in 3-4 hours, almost no hangover, and never red just pink on the cheeks. I'm really thankful for this.

Several people in this forum take 2 doses / 40mg.. I think that's quite a lot and not worth your heath or building your tolerance. If you need 40mg to stay pink, that's okay. Take only what you need, plus the pink is healthy =] And girls look cute with it.

---------

I went to Europe for work and ran out of Pepcid AC and started panicking. In France they have Pepcidduo and in the UK, Pepcidtwo, but both contains other shit that you don't need/want in your system.

Zantac is more common over here. I went out with my friends tonight and took a huge gamble by taking Zantac for the first time. I had a burger and 2 beers over the span of 2 hours. I would say 75mg Zantac = 10mg Pepcid AC. Note that our body chemistries are completely different, so your results will vary. Slightly pink, no side effects.

Conclusion: Try both, take enough to get rid of the beet red face. A little pink is good, and no one really gives a *!#&$ after they see you a 2nd time. Enjoy alcohol responsibly and wear a condom.

Thanks echeng forums for changing my social life. Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Still Steptical, just how long have you been using Pepcid AC? How often, and at what dosages?

You claim to use 10 tablets, a total of 200mg, way past the recommended dosage. Is it really worth the money, and the risk of damaging your body in the long run?

Hey guys, I'm a college student and whenever I go to a party or social gathering, I'd have to limit myself to half a beer or maybe a hard lemonade. This has affected my social life for so long and I'm so glad I found this forum.  Upon reading about your guys results I immediately bought a 50 pack of Pepcid AC. This will impact my social life so much, I don't know how to thank you guys. So...

Here's my stats and test.

Ethnicity: Vietnamese
Height: 5'6
Weight: 130

8 PM: Bowl of Pho (Noodle soup)
11 PM: Small Fajita
1 AM: 20 mg Pepcid AC
1:40 AM: 5 oz malt drink @ 7%
2 AM: rosy cheeks, but hardly noticable
2:10 AM: the other 5 oz of the drink
2:25 AM: slight rush of blood to head, pink, but not red
3:00 AM: barely pink anymore

This was all done tonight. Awesome~ Wonder what 40 mg or possibly 60mg will do for me.
