Drinkwel’s are amazing! They work every time. Take 3 before enjoying your favorite alcoholic beverages. No hang over, no headache and no nausea the next day! Try them for yourself, you won’t regret it!

Drinkwel is unique in that its mechanism is prevention, with the goal of allowing enjoyment of alcohol while mitigating some of its risks. I can verify on a personal level that the supplement works, but I also am a compulsive researcher about what I put into my body. I thought I'd share the results of some of my reading below.While possibly the most important invention in human history, alcohol can have devastating effects on your body, particularly your liver and central nervous system. Much of the damage is due to direct free radical induction from the alcohol itself, which can set off a feedback loop of damage within your liver that if unchecked leads to scar tissue and fatty change, and ultimately cirrhosis.What the creators of Drinkwel have tried to do is create a product that mitigates some of the above by three mechanisms:1) N-acetylcysteine, or NAC. It is a vetted therapy for overdoses with acetaminophen (Tylenol) to prevent the free radical induction (and consequent liver failure) that can be seen with more severe cases. It stands to reason that it would have a similar protective effect with alcohol, though it has not been as reliably studied in this context. A recommendation to the manufacturers for future labels is to actually specify the amount of NAC in the supplement, instead of listing it with an asterisk as part of a proprietary blend, to help match supplementation to quantity of alcohol consumed more reliably.2) Vitamin deficiencies. With alcohol usage, especially long term, a number of nutritional deficiencies can accumulate, with the most severe consequence being a condition known as Wernicke Korsakoff, a potentially irreversible syndrome that occurs as a result of absent thiamine intake. The creators of Drinkwel are clearly aware of this association, providing 7000% of the recommended daily intake of B1. Because it is water soluble, most of the excess thiamine is excreted in your urine. Other common deficiencies that can result are B12 and folate, causing a characteristic anemia due to bone marrow suppression. In the same vein, the creators supplement B12 in spades, with 5000% of your daily recommended dose. The folate is in folic acid form, which is more ambiguous as far as health effects, so would suggest a dietary source for this one (ie. green leafy vegetables).3) Herbal supplements. This is probably the aspect of this supplement that is the least straightforward, at least as far as peer reviewed data. Milk thistle increases liver metabolism, and may improve liver function in the short term, though there is not much convincing data for long term effects. Rhodiola, artichoke, green tea extract, acerola, bupleurum, Schissandra, Reishi, goji and DHM leaf have not been studied in the context of alcohol intake, and although they have been researched in the peer reviewed literature, much of their supportive data is anecdotal.Overall a great supplement, with ingredients based on a mixture of strong science and anecdotal alternative medicine. I would suggest that if you anticipate a night of alcoholic intake, to take the supplement before the alcohol is in your bloodstream and not waiting till the morning after, as much of the damage will have already occurred by then. Also might consider taking adjuvant N-acetylcysteine, as it is likely one of its more effective components, and is usually also available here on Amazon.For myself personally, I have found the best combination to be at least 3 before and 3 after. I try to titrate dose to consumption.Salud!

Works for more than just a night out, excellent for long haul trips when you just want to eliminate the adjustment to a new time zone. Especially with disturbed/broken sleep. Great product to help your body recover and adjust.

I noticed Amazon wasn't selling Pretoxx anymore so I went ahead and bought Drinkwel since it got so many good reviews. I recently went to Vegas the other weekend and did some heavy drinking so it was the perfect opportunity to try it. I'm 5'6" and 140lbs and can drink quite a bit for my size. When I remembered to take two capsules of Drinkwel when getting back to the hotel at 4am, it seemed to work the next day. I can't say I had any big hangover symptoms, but I did have a slight head ache one of the days but that could be just because I drank so much. Anyhow, I had no body aches or anything of that sort and I had energy to go about the day in Vegas so I would say that was a success.I subtracted one star because Drinkwel directions say you are supposed to take it after you are done drinking. That is an inconvenience(Pretoxx allows you to take before, during or after drinking and it works flawlessly). I'm not sure how effective it is if you take Drinkwel before you drink but that could be something to try next. Per pill, Drinkwell is cheaper than Pretoxx, so if it still works while taking it before drinking, then I may just stick with it. Recommended!Update 08/12/2013: I tried varying the dosage of the Drinkwel because I wasn't sure two capsules were enough since I did get a slight head ache last time. So this past weekend I tried three capsules after drinking heavily(friends from out of town were visiting) and it worked great! No hangover effect whatsoever the following day.Conclusion: I would say three capsules of Drinkwel are equal in strength to two pills of Pretoxx. I get the same affect with those dosages. So after discovering this, Drinkwel and Pretoxx are the exact same value because: Drinkwel has 90 capsules and Pretoxx has 30. Drinkwel requires you to take 3 capsules to get the full effect and Pretoxx requires 2 pills. Drinkwel costs $40 and Pretoxx costs $20. Therefore you get 30 full dosages with Drinkwel at $40 and you get 15 full dosages with Pretoxx at $20. Only difference is you have to cough up more money at one time when buying Drinkwel. I recommend either.

This product is outstanding. I have increased energy using it. Makes me feel very peppy.
