Not wanting to risk a raging hangover myself, and not wanting to share my tales of overconsumption, I reached out to my friend George Kaplan who agreed to test the Bytox patch in a controlled experiment and share his thoughts for our collective consideration. He happens to be an excellent drinker. And as you'll find below, an equally excellent writer.
Bytoxification
I must admit, I was more than a bit skeptical when a friend of mine approached me with the opportunity to test the latest hangover remedy, bytox?. I am usually leery of these remedies, but with a full slate of holiday parties looming on my calendar, I decided I could use any help I could get.
The Setup
Before setting out for the evening, I thoroughly read the bytox? directions, and chose to ignore the warning to ?Stay well hydrated?. Sound advice, yes, but a bit of a cheat, as anyone who stays well hydrated is unlikely to end up with a hangover anyway.
My evening?s consumption began at 7:00 with a solid meal at my favorite haunt, and ended at midnight. Per my custom, I mixed and matched and stuck to no pre-set pattern; the final tally was four Old Fashioneds (Old Overholt), three Gin & Tonics (Beefeater), and two bottles of Lone Star.
The Results
As you all can imagine, I wasn?t exactly at my best the next morning. I did get up around five o?clock to have a glass of water and gobble down 800 mg of ibuprofen, but that?s my usual morning-after-a-debacle procedure, and I wanted to stick to it. You know, this being scientific and all.
The bytox ? did nothing at all to mitigate the day after lethargy, and I really fell off a cliff after two o?clock or so. But, skeptical though I was heading into this experiment, I must admit that the patch did help to alleviate some of the other, traditional ?hangover? symptoms. The horrible metallic taste in my mouth was absent, as was the stabbing pain behind my eyes and the hollow feeling that one sometimes gets the morning after drinking too much whisky. I had only a small headache, and the day-after hangover fogginess was noticeably diminished.
The Recommendation
I would definitely use bytox ? again. I don?t want to oversell this, of course; I was still banged up the next day, but I was able to function productively, rather than slumping senseless in a chair all day. What I did was excessive. If someone were to use this product because they usually have a little hangover after drinking a bottle of red wine the evening before, I?d hazard a guess that this handy patch would overcome the hangover altogether.
So there you have it. An impartial review of the Bytox Hangover Remedy.
