Dihydromyricetin[1] can accomplish this remarkably effectively. It's available on Amazon.

Also works great for hangovers.

Just a warning to everyone: This effect doesn't seem to have much scientific support beyond the cited paper. Other work has followed up and was not able to replicate: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8603706/.

The test is trivial - take a breathalyzer and compare results after say 2, 3, 5 beers before and after. Some mental / IQ test could be added to make sure we don't have folks driving around passing breath test while being very drunk.

Something tells me if they can't provide such a trivial result, it ain't working as folks expect (and god knows what nasty side effects it can have).

I learned about this and it does work in my experience, best if taken both at the beginning and end of the night.

While it doesn’t alleviate all of the hangover symptoms it does nearly eliminate all of the most unpleasant ones.

Which are the pleasant hangover symptoms?

Great suggestion. There is also Kislip, which seems to be based on probiotics and, like DHM, also helps metabolize acetaldehyde. Acetium (a Finnish product) also claims to lower acetaldehyde, but that might be a localized effect (mouth/nasopharynx + GI tract).

Zbiotics gives you genetically modified probiotic bacteria that secrete ALDH into your gut.

Note the study involves injections. The oral route is subject to digestion.

This is an animal study (rats). Use on your own risk.
