Should I take it when I'm ready to sober up or before drinking as well if I want to make sure I don't get too drunk but still have a good buzz?

Take it a couple of hours before drinking. You won't feel as drunk and will have less of a hangover.

  Thanks, I'll give it a go.

  What about all the other negative impacts though - like liver impact and blood pressure. Isn’t it better to just moderate your drinking rather than drinking to excess and then dialing back the feel of it with broccoli?

    Probably.

    Agree. Of all the negatives, I think diminished sleep is the one that doesn’t get enough attention. It’s superficial sleep at best. You’re up peeing 3,4,5 times a night. You never enter REM sleep. You’re dragging the entire next day. All to do it over again to your body the next day? Of the people that I know that drink actively almost every day, they look like shit, and lack motivation. Their body is crying out for rest and better food but they just keep drinking through their signals.

      not a sleep expert by I think the biggest impact is on deep sleep, not REM

  An older method is to eat a couple of tablespoons of butter 30 min before the first drink. Works quite well to reduce the effects of alcohol.

    Or any other food with lots of fat. The fat makes the body absorb the alcohol slower. And drinking lots of water just before sleeping greatly reduces hangovers. What also works, is drinking in moderation ..
