The miracle hangover prevention - also good for other uses
I use these all the time and they are fantastic, however they maybe changed the formula? They used to be thinner tablets, now they're extremely thick and they take a while to fully dissolve. It's not worth removing a star but it's definitely worth noting - I wonder why the change?
I use these instead of sugary sports drinks when I work out or am at the office. But to be reaaaalllllyyyyy honest, I mostly use these as a hangover preventative. This is all relative and your mileage may vary FYI. When doing moderate drinking, before you go to bed, put one tablet in a large cup of water and drink once it's done dissolving. When doing heavy drinking for a sporting event, or a wedding, or whatever other excuse you have for drinking too much, then I'll usually take 1 a few hours into drinking and then 1 more before bed. Usually, doing this and drinking some water in between every few drinks should be enough to prevent hangovers. I've had some mornings where I woke up and couldn't believe I felt as good as I did. Regardless, you probably shouldn't use these so you can drink every night and wake up okay, that's unhealthy - but using them to save yourself from yourself once or twice a month...that's probably still unhealthy but hey, I'm no saint.
The flavor is fine, it tastes like a normal sports drink to me. Maybe not the same as a sugary gatorade or sugar-substitute-filled powerade zero or something but I'm okay with that. Dissolve in warm or lukewarm water, as it won't go as well if your drink starts cold.
