So i tried sobrietol the other night, and honestly i dont think this product works like the company claims. One hour prior to drinking i took 40 mg of pepcid, and prior to walking into the bar i mixed one packet of sobrietol with some h20. Let me tell you this stuff tastes horrible!!! maybe next time i will mix it with some oj because in the future i will not be mixing it with water. I usually just drink beer when i go out but have never been able to drink more than three without experiencing symptoms associated with the flush which include drymouth, headaches, getting too full to drink anymore, and getting really really sleepy. I think the feeling of being full is associated with my body not breaking down the alcohol fast enough. So when i was at the bar i was only able to drink about three beers in a 1.5 hour period before experiencing the symptoms. So i then decided to try one more packet and wait 1 hour for some results. An hour passes and i still felt the same. I honestly think taking NAC does more for me then this stuff. In my opinion sobriteol is way too expensive and isnt effective as NAC. The good thing about all of this is that the company messed up and sent me 16 packets for the price of 8 so if anyone is interested in trying some email me andrewh316@gmail.com
