thanks for the information, i switched it up and tried 80mgs all weekend.  didn't turn red, got light pink for 5 minutes or so.  tried 60mgs and turned light pink for a bit longer.

The general concensus here has been to:

* Not eat too much the hours leading up to your drinking -- your stomach should be pretty much empty or almost empty
* Take the pills -- I'd take 2x20mg (or 4x10mg) pills for your first time
* Have a big glass of water
* Wait at least an hour before your 1st drink
* Drink your 1st drink slowly
* Enjoy the rest of your evening!


Good luck :)

i tried this for the first time tonight.  i took 40mg of pepcid.  im 5'6-7'' 140 lbs.

i didn't try this on an empty stomach.  had a protein shake about an hour before.
i did not take a big glass of water with pepcid.
waited 45 minutes, before my first drink.  took about 18oz in about 45 minutes proceeding the first drink.

still got red.  according to your general consensus, i did alot of things wrong.  i took another pill 30 minutes after the first drink and 2nd pill 45 minutes after the first drink.  the pulsating in the head calmed down and the redness seemingly got lighter, however, im color blind with the color red so i have difficulty seeing the redness at all.  this could be due, however, to the fact that after i have had a few drinks, the bright red goes away.  the more i drink the more it goes away.  bright red = sober, no redness = drunk.  the problem is i don't want to get flat out drunk everytime i drink. 

do you think i should up the dosage for the next time to perhaps 80mg?  going to rehab in vegas this weekend and i would prefer not to have my whole body red.
