I tried it with both r-ALA and ALA. I was having great results with r-ALA... getting away with some awesome cheat meals... then I tried to offset a pizza and a pitcher of beer with about 1000mg r-ALA (don't remember the exact dose now.) The results were disasterous. All my previous cheat meals... I'd held a little water the next day... but the r-ALA had let me get my waist down to normal by day 2. With the beer... I had to work for 4 days to get it back down to normal.

I tried recreating this with 3,000mg of ALA... same disasterous results... it took several days to get the additional weight back off.

We are going to have an Orange County/Los Angeles gathering of EF posters in the next couple weeks. I'm going to bring enough r-ALA and ALA for the entire group. Hopefully we can get a large group one day sampling of what happens if everybody drinks Coors Lite and supps with r-ALA/ALA.

That is going to be pretty cool. Too bad I live on the right coast.

Thnx for the info.

So basically it can't prevent the extra cals from alcohol, but the effects were the same right?

I'm going to have to label the alcohol results as "inconclusive." Like a dolt I had pizza with the beer. I should have tried just the beer alone. Also, the result was not the same kind of result that I previously got way over eating and over carbing on r-ALA. I was able to sneak by eating two tripple scoop icecream sundaes covered with carmel and hot fudge on r-ALA. Not a big change the next day even in water weight. But... that one pitcher of beer added an inch to my waist over night. Obviously this is too big a gain to just be fat. It had to be a ton of water... but the results just didn't quite add up.

ALA has been used in therapy to treat cases of alcoholic/mushroom poisoning,so its addition to partying would be wise.
