4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised it worked!, October 20, 2008

I have been doing some research on "hangover cures" (in preparation for my moth of wedding parties and such). I read about this product and liked what I saw, so I tried it out this past Saturday at my bachelorette party. While it is slightly annoying to have to remember to take the pills, the next morning I told my finace I would gladly pay for Chasers any time I drink in the future.

Now since this was my bachlorette party, I had a LOT to drink.. About 6 shots and 8 beers. Not only did I not have a headache or stomachache the nesxt day, I actually felt really good. The only residue of the hangover I felt was the slight head fog, but even that was remarkaly less than normal.

I recommend this.

3.0 out of 5 stars It works, but not because of the scam that is "homeopathy", September 8, 2011

The back of the box lists the active ingredients: Cinchona 12x, lobelia inf 12x, etc. For those who are unfamiliar with homeopathy, this designation means that these herbs appear in a concentration of 1 part per *trillion*, or the equivalent of a single drop in 20 Olympic-size swimming pools. The pseudoscience behind homeopathy has been proven wrong countless times, yet for some reason people still believe in it.

I am betting Living Essentials simply did not want to spend big money on these herbs, so they diluted them to ridiculously low concentrations and slapped the word "homeopathic" on the package, a word which a sizeable fraction of Americans probably don't even know the definition of.

That said, the product does work. Why? Because of the calcium carbonate and the activated carbon, which are included among the "inactive ingredients". The tiny pores on the carbon allow the toxins to adsorb to the pill before they can be absorbed by your body. It is not perfect, and as it travels through your digestive tract toxins can be released, which explains why some people feel like they are still slightly `buzzed' the next day.

I have experienced identical results taking any number of generic activated charcoal pills while drinking, and I would suggest those who are wary of paying the big bucks for name brand Chaser to do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Hangover, April 15, 2009

I drank to excess last night, but fortunately I remembered to take Chaser every four drinks (or thereabouts). This morning, I only have a slight headache (barely noticeable), and a little grogginess. None of the characteristic nausea I usually experience with a hangover. In fact, I'm currently enjoying a bowl of Ramen and actually keeping it down.
