IN the beginning, i was thinking like that...that you coudlnt' drink it cause it was too harsh on the liver, or that you would loose poetency,....then relaized that many people actually recommend to drink it becasue it is absorbed really well by the GI tract. I would go with drinking it. Painless, same toxicity to the liver wether you inject or drink. Make sure you take at least 600mg of Alpha liphoic Acid, and 500-800mgs of Milk thistle to protect the liver...and do at least 50mg/day for 6-8 weeks. Good luck
