Has anyone ever tried Chaser?

Along the lines of the Listerine/drinking thread...

You know that stupid ad that's on TV constantly, about taking a product called Chaser to keep you from being hung over.

I'd never try it, I'm just curious if anyone here has performed a field test on this fine, upstanding product.

1. I hate that ad

Why the hell didn't the woman give the man Chaser when she was taking it? Weren't they drinking together? They obviously live together so why was she not sharing her damn Chaser?

3. I thought the same thing! n/t

5. I like that she has a little gold band on that VERY IMPORTANT third finger

of her left hand. They're not living together, they're married. Maybe that's why she didn't share her secret, married people NEVER talk to eachother.

2. I would imagine the biggest part of Chaser is the glass of water

you have to drink between every 2 'adult' drinks. Hydration and all that.

9. That's the trick

The capsules are useless, but the water makes it seem like it partially works.

6. i tried it on New Year's Eve. it worked.

course i drank oodles of water too which always helps.

but if you knew what i drank, and didn't have a headache or a hangover, you'd believe in the stuff too. :thumbsup:

7. I use a chaser every time I do a shot of vodka...

..usually it's a BudLight, or a Bud, or a vodka tonic, or another shot of vodka :)

8. I'm surprised it took 7 posts

I was expecting a remark like that sooner :)

10. Wasn't there research that came out recently

about some cactus extract (?) preventing hangover? Or am I drunk and imagining things?

ps. and don't say "they meant tequila"

11. yes, prickly pear has shown tohave some benefits. Also, a product

called RU21. I have never tried either, but I know a few people who swear by RU21.

13. Hangover cures don't work, but shed light on drinking habits - link

14. It works

But a B-Complex also works.

Of course, limited alcohol in the course of a few hours also works.

15. FYI, it only works if taken as directed...I drank quite a bit during the

Steelers game, and got a headache late...I went to the store and bought chaser the following morning, and no dice.

I took it new year's eve, and worked like a charm
