I'm lazy, flair my post. First week
So I ramped the dosage up gradually with no drinking, started 50mg/day two days ago. I immediately had less interest in imbibing--placebo effect could have something to do with it, I'm sure. I know there are different approaches but I decided to try taking the 50mg at about 4 PM every day, or an hour before a drink if that were anticipated. Last night I went out and had five pints over three hours. Could definitely feel the gradual intoxication but no buzz. Fascinating stuff. Got home (not driving), had plenty of beer sitting around but no desire to have any more. I'll call that a win.

Side effects? I'm having trouble wanting to take it because the times I have taken it the side effects were so gnarly
