Okay, finally got to test this out, here is my review!
The setup: Starting drinking beer around 7:00 on Saturday... had people over to my place, so we pre-drank until about 10:30... mostley beer with a couple of shots thrown in. Was fairly sauced by the time we headed out, so can't comment on the exact quantity.
Took us forever to get into the bar, but once we were there, I had a couple of more shots in quick succession, then just a steady drinking of beer. Did some dancing, but not enough to sweat off the booze.
Ended up going for late night chinese, then heading home (still quite hammered)
I was quite happy that I actually remembered to take it, i remember the taste being fairly bland, but that doesn't bother me at all.
Did not notice any niacin flush, but I'm thinking thats cuase I was kind of full with chinese.
The Morning: woke up with not much nausia, but felt very tired (still drunk?) and had a headache. Pounded back the AM portion and got a pretty wicked niacin flush.
I'll admit, initially i wasn't very impressed, but I feel like as the day went on my hangover went away a bit quicker.
Ratings:
Taste: 6/10, really bland, easy enough to get down (both portions)
Heache: 7/10 got rid of my headache just as good as advil.
Stomache: didn't have the usual upset stomach, not sure if I could contribute some of that to eating late at night as well?
Mental Clarity: 7/10 felt more clearer than if I didn't
Overall: 7/10
I was moderatley impressed with this product. I would definatley need to try it a few times to really judge how well it works. Would consider picking it up once it comes out (depending on price)
What I think it REALLY needs is a "pre-drinking" portion (pills - time released?) that you take and would help mitigate some of the effects WHILE you drink. I feel like waiting until you are done drinking there is a lot of damage already done.
Thanks for letting me test it out, curious to see what its like at retail release.
