...also, for best results, i take three AC MAX 45 min. before drinking and then another two 20 min. before drinking.

So all up you take 100mg? I only need 20 or 30mg for it to work. I take it 30 mins to an hour before drinking, and don't eat in the time leading up or whilst drinking.
hey, it says for Zantac it says heartburn and indigestion... if i take it when i dont hav a heartburn problem could something happen to me????
be the way, they dont sell Pepcid in Australia the person said its only in america or something.
could someone reply to me :)
Hey, you can get the aussie equivalent, called "ausfam" with a doctor's prescription. It costs about $25 for a 60 pack. It's not available over the counter here.
TEST 1: 30 hours of no sleep. 30 hours is the time where some functions of the body are shut down. Your body slows down, and oxygen is deprived from reaching the brain. With low ammounts of oxygen, your subconcios mind reacts differen't. Some of you who do this will probally not make it to 2am, due to lack of sleep and alcohol sensitivity. Its also an attempt to deprogram the subconcious mind from causing flushing(expanding blood vessels). Some of you will be able to drink more before flushing, if not at all. I will explain more on Friday! Whoever does choose to partivipate, please let me know.
Ok... but why would anyone want to go through not sleeping for 30 hours, just to start drinking, and on top of that however long you drink for! As i said, its not practical! I do appreciate what you are doing Natifus, but some of the things you have proposed do not make sense.
TEST 1: Deprive yourself with 30 hours of sleep.
I really don't see how this is practical, or how it could possibly work. I might just try the pre-drink method, and if that doesn't work i'll stick with pepcid.
This is weird. The pepcid ac has worked wonders for me, it supresses the flush completely whilst drinking. I've had about 6 or 7 beers tonight, and 6 and a half hours after taking 40mg pepcid ac, im getting a slight flush and shaking. Sure, its nowhere near as bad as without the pepcid, but i thought it was supposed to last for 12 hours? Anybody else had a similar thing happen?
To:nic
H2Bockers are antiacids, Ethanol is an acectic acid therefore neutrolized.
Wrong again. Ethanol is not an acetic acid, it is an alcohol. The mechanism by which the H2 blockers work is more complex than just neutralizing an acid. Acetic acid is the harmless final product of alcohol digestion, from the original ethanol to acetaldehyde to acetic acid. I'm beginning to question if you really are a research scientist on this subject, as it seems like your knowledge of this subject is limited.
Has anyone tested Natifus' "pre-drink" or cheerz hangover solutions before? I'm pretty sure the pre-drink didnt work for me. Thanks for the info nonetheless Natifus. Very interesting stuff.
Yeah i was kinda embarassed as well but she understood. I just said i get this bad reaction to alcohol, whereby my face gets red, other symptoms etc. and i came across a website that strongly recommended pepcidine, which has the active ingredient famotidine. Then she wrote out the prescription, and that was it. btw my email is jonese26@hotmail.com if you want it.
hi tainted love, i went to my gp and she was happy to write out a prescription for pepcid (its called pepcidine in oz). I just explained my situation, and she was cool with it. I'm 18, but she didn't ask for my age or anything, so i dunno you should be ok. btw, i wished i discovered pepcid earlier, coz it kinda ruined my schoolies week lol.
luv2drink, I find i still do get slightly pink even tho i take 30mg pepcid AC, 1 hour before drinking. However this is hardly even noticeable, and its nowhere near as bad as i used to get it, so I'm still satisfied. I haven't tried it with cocktails yet, so i can't tell you if that makes it worse or not. If you dont like beer, perhaps try vodka because the pepcid works just as well with that. Also I think eating may interfere with the action of pepcid, so try going without food for a few hours before drinking.
