Hello Everybody! This is my first post in the Toker's Den so I'll try and make it as interesting as possible. Four years ago, I registered a business in my town with the hopes of eventually doing a bit of import/export as a commodities broker (dealing with electronic and agricultural goods). I dealt with contracts pertaining to everything from Brazilian soy beans to Dell laptops and Nokia cell phones.
For the last four years or so I've learned an invaluable amount of information pertaining to this business. For example, the import/export business is 99.9% bullshit. What I mean by this is, there are hundreds of thousands of brokers (like myself) entering the market every year looking to make a million dollars overnight. They claim to be legitimate buyers only to seek out legitimate suppliers and vice versa. I learned very quickly who was and was not legitimate. I spoke with hundreds of people across the globe and came very near to closing multi-million dollar contracts. Needless to say, it is quite an elusive business. I never closed one deal! What I did come away with in my four years of networking, is several solid supply chain connections in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Brazil.
Anyway, I'll get to the whole point of this thread: One of my connections has recently brought a very interesting product to my attention: A tea manufactured in China which contains several natural herbs and flower extracts that work together to help your gall bladder, pancreas and liver function at their most efficient levels, all the while processing alcohol. In other words, this tea can be consumed before, while or after you drink alcohol and significantly increases your bodies ability to metabolize ethanol.
My girlfriend, my buddy and I gave the tea a try the other night to find out for ourselves whether or not it was for real. I currently weigh 190lbs (I've really let myself go); my buddy's at 175 and my girlfriend is a whopping 125 soaking wet. After drinking 4 Belgian beers with an average alcohol content of 8.5% (roughly) we were feeling very nice to say the least. We then each drank one dose of the tea and waited...aproximately 15 minutes later I felt incredible. I can't exactly pinpoint the feeling, but I would not hesitate to say that I could literally feel my body ridding itself of the alcohol. 45 minutes passed and I was 85% sober. 1 hour and a half later and I was 100%. What's more impressive is that my buddy claimed to be 100% sober in 40 minutes (don't know if that's for real, though). My girlfriend surprisingly sobered up in roughly the same time as I had.
The next morning: No hangover, no headaches...in fact, I felt better than I had felt in years. I woke up clear-headed and completely rested. This phenomenon was also experienced by both my girlfriend and my buddy. Now, I can't say that this product is the answer to this country's DWI/DUI problems and I, nor the distributor nor the manufacturer will make such claims. But I can say that this product can and will significantly increase the rate at which your body processes alcohol, dramatically reducing the potential sickness, hangovers and headaches caused by overdrinking. Even better, its 100% natural and you can drink as much or as little of it as you'd like. I'm sure that if I had doubled my dose, I would have been sober even quicker!!
Overall, this was a preliminary test and I am not 100% sold on this product, in terms of my personal investment. My friend and business partner, the gentleman who brought this product to my attention has given me the chance to be the sole distributor for my region. So, I ask of you, what is your general opinion?
p.s. If anybody would like more information in regards to this product, PM men and I will be more than happy to share. I didn't want to post any form of solicitation, just food for thought.
