is that the same as a hot shot? if so that's rough. id be downing bourbon as well, that is assuming I didn't quit after the first day
B1/B3 WORK! "I find that when you do not feel the buzz when using these remedies, over time it makes drinking boring and even annoying."In addition to the other advice for B1, I would also add niacinamide. It is a precursor to NAD and NAD levels determine how fast you metabolize alcohol as NAD is a cofactor for both alcohol dehydrogenase (ALD) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALHD). Not only that but NAD is also required cofactor for properly metabolizing acetic acid, which is the final output of alcohol metabolism. Furthermore, older studies have shown that reducing estrogens and/or increasing androgens drastically increases the mRNA levels of both ALD and ALHD. Those studies show giving old mice an aromatase inhibitor or androgen agonist enabled them to metabolize 4-5 times more alcohol per unit of time than even young controls. Combining both pathways (anti-estrogen + androgen) greatly amplifies these effects and also protects the liver not only by lowering estrogen (which burdens the liver) but also by reducing endotoxin absorption into the bloodstream (which also burdens the liver) through repair of the gut barrier (which alcohol damages). So, in theory taking B1, B3 and something like exemestane (which both lowers estrogen and metabolizes into an androgen) could allow one to outdrink the Russian army and still feel fresh in the morning and go to work. Kidding aside, 10mg exemestane before going out drinking makes me incapable of getting drunk...to the great amazement and even chagrin or my drinking buddies. To be honest, these "protection" approaches have a moral hazard involved. Not so much because they increase the propensity to drink more, but because you literally cannot get drink unless you are drinking hard liquor like water, and that removes most of the fun from social drinking events. The people around you can sense you are not getting buzzed and it makes them (and you) feel weird. I find that when you do not feel the buzz when using these remedies, over time it makes drinking boring and even annoying. So, use as you see fit, but keep in mind that with power/knowledge comes responsibility and judgment how/when/if to use it
Its not "fun" any more...plus learned my lesson the hard way...stroke. Been a "baby" alcoholic most of my life and had I been replete in B1/B3 I'd be walking normal today. Why do some of us not learn, until we get hit in the head?
Taurine, dihydromyricetin and succinic acid (cardenosine) are all liver protective and help with the detoxification of alcohol.
Hot shots are a type of crew, usually federal like USFS, BLM, BIA, etc. I am on an engine crew with the county. Occasionally I get attached to hot shots on bigger fires. They generally are hiking in or flown in for direct/indirect attacks on fires that vehicles can't get to.
Yes, try some tequila sunrise, it tastes amazing and I never get a hangover from it. Fresh orange juice, tequila silver, grenadine syrup and ice cubes.
Yummy! I have been liking 2 ounces of white tequila with milk and honey or sugar before bed. It sounds strange, but replacing the Kaluah for sugar or raw honey tastes like a vanilla white Russian
You will never look back after feeling so good with white tequila! Don't buy the cheap stuff either! Here is another quote from Dr. Peat, that should turn you from the dark side and into the light! ?
