nl5xsk1 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Has anyone else seen that commercial for Chaser, the hangover preventer? It's on late at night, and seems so over-the-top that I thought that there was no way it was real. But, lo and behold, a little search online finds the following: http://www.doublechaser.com/default.htm Of course, it still seems relatively sketchy, what with the "Generally Recognized as Safe" description on the front page. I mean, if I'm looking for safety I'd like it to be universally accepted as safe, not just generally. But maybe that's just me. So, has anyone seen this ad? Has anyone known anyone that's tried Chaser, and lived to tell about it? Is anyone willing to be the guinea pig that risks life and limb by being the first on TSM to try this "generally safe" drug?
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 if only they had this when I drank...
Youth N Asia Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I wouldn't call it "new"...I've been hearing radio ads for years. It's really just easier to not get piss drunk, ya know

Sandman9000 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Goddammit people, how thick are you? It's probably just a friggin sugar pill or some shit, designed to sucker in the moronic college crowd and the usual alcoholics who are unable to recognize the "too good to be true" element of this and will gladly throw their money away over this stupid bullshit. Some people are still alive simply because it's illegal to kill them. ::Throws up the X::
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Hangovers go with drinking too much. If you can't handle it, don't fucking do it. Pussies.
MrRant Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 ::Throws up the X:: And then falls down the stairs.

And I doubt that it's a sugar pill or placebo, the FDA wouldn't let them sell it if it were ... to steal from the webpage's Q&A: Q: What are Chaser hangover pills made of? A: Chaser is a patent-pending formula of activated calcium carbonate and vegetable carbon (activated charcoal). Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in most calcium supplements and antacids. Vegetable carbon has been used for centuries to absorb toxins and is still used in hospitals today. Both ingredients are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Q: How does Chaser hangover prevention work? A: Chaser absorbs the elements in beer, wine and spirits that cause hangovers. These elements, called congeners, are the byproducts of the fermentation process that gives alcoholic beverages flavor, aroma and color. When released into your bloodstream, congeners cause a reaction leading to inflammation and pain. In other words, a hangover. Chaser attracts and absorbs congeners, keeping them in your digestive tract where they are harmless. Of course, having said (and copied and pasted) all that, I don't see me trying the shit anytime soon. The occasional hangovers that I get aren't bad enough to try something that's considered kind-of safe. (and Squirtle!, getting hangovers comes with getting older, not from being a pussy. I've suffered from more hangovers in the last 2 years or so than I did from the ages 18-28.)
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 In other words this pill is a can of Tomato Soup in tablet or capsule form. Just buy a damned can of Campell's Tomato soup or a jug of V8.
Guest BDC Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I don't even drink I know to avoid hangovers you just stay hydrated. I have a friend that always has water in proximity to his alcohol and never gets a hangover.
Nevermortal Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I drank more alcohol than anyone should probably ever drink this past weekend and I didn't get a hangover. A HANGOVER IS A MYTH!
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Just drink a glass of water before bed and take a vitamin b pill in the morning.

And hell, I've said that line long before some racist wore it as a t-shirt.
