If you preload for a week it makes alcohol feel like it has shockingly little effect.

I preloaded for 3 days. I got an immediate small, weird buzz, mostly just in my lips after a couple of sips and that was about it. I donât think I will use it again. I felt distinctly odd.
Huh weird. I generally notice nothjng except the alcohol having less effect, I agree, probably donât use it if you get weird effects from it.
My issue is I sometimes take them only 10-20 mins before drinking which is not optimal.
I have also gotten some weird effects every now and then.

Yeah I donât think any of the supplements are all that effective in that setting; I have found 3-7 days of preloading to be optimal but obviously thatâs not convenient for unplanned drinking.
IDK about that. I started by taking Mirkl + Zbiotics + TWF right before drinking and still had good results. Preloading does seem to help more, but itâs only like 10-20% better maybe. Also when I do a casual, weekday wine dinner, I typically donât do any preloading. Taking them at all is hugely more effective than not taking them.

Just to clarify though, based on what youâve posted previously, you mainly do this regimen when youâre doing large wine dinners, where youâre tasting lots of wines. Am I right?
If so, I could see how the regimen is less effective in that context if undertaken immediately beforehand.
Typically yes; I donât use it if Iâm just going to have a drink or two with dinner.

I usually take them on weekends when I have 3-5 drinks starting with lunch or when on vacation.
I will tell you that these suppliments work. I have tried cutting out zBiotics and it gives me a very different result after a tasting. My present âstackâ for big tastings is Waterboy before the tasting, DHM 1000mg, NAC 1800mg, Myrkl 2 caps then zBiotics before the tasting then have another 1800mg of NAC after. I donât do post hydration but might try that during La Paulee or similar. My personal results are VERY good for me.

I did an experiment yesterday with the same stack I used for our last wine event (Myrkl + Wine Fix + Zbiotics), but I tried taking it 90 minutes before the first drink, since I couldnât be 100% sure my last experience was due to only the supplement given that I took those right before drinking.
Immediately had the same bad reaction upon consuming the capsules - lips and tip of the tongue went a little numb, felt slightly woozy and a little headachey. I never had this issue with just WF and Z, so I attribute it to Myrkl. Nope, not for me. As it happens, our plans changed and we only had one bottle, so there wasnât any need for it.
Interestingly, I donât recall having any reaction when I did a preload of just the Myrkl a few days before a big wine lunch. So perhaps itâs a combo? In any case, I wonât be doing it again.
It could be an allergy to something in the capsule/filler; that would make sense that youâd have faster reaction to it upon taking it the second time, I agree you should stop taking it.

To be clear, the reaction was immediate both times. Itâs just the first time I also immediately started drinking, so I couldnât be 100% sure the reaction was to the capsule versus the alcohol hitting me quickly that afternoon, which sometimes happens if Iâve worked out and havenât eaten enough.
Youâd mentioned preloading it without ill effects until you drank, though?
Preloading without ill effects until I combined it with Wine Fix and Zbiotics. The wine came soon after, but my immediate reaction was to the capsules before wine, I am pretty sure. It was fast.
Yeah I would stop taking them in any case.
I am wondering if the main benefit of taking Waterboy on the actual night of drinking is the salt helps the body retain more water than it otherwise would (hence, not needing to pee it out during the night despite chugging a large glass of water). And this is also why fast food helps as well (the salt, not the actual food itself).

I had wanted to do a test without Zbiotics and conveniently forgot to take it out of my pocket the other night. It wasnât a super big night - about 1 bottle - but Myrkl + TWF + electrolytes worked great and I felt super fresh.
