A two-step conversion
Your liver breaks alcohol down in stages. The intermediate compound produced along the way, acetaldehyde, is considerably more reactive than the alcohol itself — and it hangs around until the second enzyme clears it.
The mechanism, minus the hand-waving
HOW IT
HOW IT
WORKS
Alcohol doesn't wreck your morning on its own. It leaves a mess behind — and your body spends the night cleaning it up. BUZZKILL is 1,029 mg of ingredients chosen to support that cleanup crew.§

Step one
WHAT YOUR BODY IS DOING
Fluid and minerals leave
Alcohol suppresses the hormone that tells your kidneys to hold water. More trips to the bathroom means fluid and electrolytes — magnesium in particular — go with it.
B vitamins get spent
Metabolizing alcohol draws on B vitamins, especially thiamin. That's why so many recovery formulas lean on a B-complex — the tank is genuinely lower than it was.
General physiology, not a claim about this product. Nothing here is medical advice.

INSIDE THE LIVER
Alcohol clears in two enzyme steps. The first one is fast. The second one is the choke point — and that middle compound is what makes you feel wrecked.
Simplified for illustration. § These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. BUZZKILL does not lower blood alcohol content or reduce impairment.

Four jobs, one 8.4 oz can. Every ingredient below is on the label — there's no unlisted "energy matrix."
Liver supportAmpelopsis grossedentata · Silybum marianum
Vine tea extract delivering dihydromyricetin (DHM), paired with a 4:1 milk thistle seed extract. Both have a long history of traditional use for liver support, and DHM is the most-studied compound in the blend.§
DHM + Milk thistleAntioxidant loadRosmarinus officinalis · L-glutathione · selenomethionine
Rosemary leaf extract, L-glutathione and selenomethionine, backed by 404 mg of vitamin C and vitamin E — a stack aimed at supporting the body's own antioxidant defenses.§

Timing
WHEN TO DRINK IT
The honest answer is any of the three. Shake it well and drink it cold — that part isn't optional, the botanicals settle.
Before
Ahead of the night
Start with a full tank. Useful if you already know dinner is going long.
Best if you plan ahead
During
Between rounds
Non-carbonated and caffeine free, so it slots in without fighting anything else you're drinking.
Won't fill you up
After
Last drink of the night
The most common way people use it. One can before bed, then let the night do what it does.

Straight answers
WHAT BUZZKILL IS NOT
Four things we'd rather say out loud than have you find out the hard way.
Not a cure
Nothing cures a hangover. BUZZKILL is a supplement built to support your body's own recovery process§ — not a switch that turns last night off.
Not a sobriety aid
It does not lower blood alcohol content, reduce impairment, or make anyone safe to drive. Only time does that. Get a ride.
Not a permission slip
Having one in the fridge isn't a reason to have three more. If anything, drink less and let it do its job.
Not a substitute
Water, food and sleep still do most of the work. BUZZKILL sits alongside them — it doesn't replace any of the three.
Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED
When should I drink BUZZKILL?
Before, during, or after — the label means it. Most people drink one as their last drink of the night. It's caffeine free, so it won't keep you up.
What is DHM?
Dihydromyricetin, a flavonoid found in vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata). It's been used in East Asian herbal traditions for centuries and it's the most-studied ingredient in our blend.§
Does it have caffeine?
Zero. No caffeine, no stimulants. That's deliberate — the last thing you need at 1 a.m. is something keeping you awake.
Will it lower my BAC or make me safe to drive?
No. BUZZKILL does not reduce impairment, lower blood alcohol content, or make anyone safe to drive. Only time does that. Get a ride.
How does it taste?
Emergency Orange is bright and tart, more citrus than sweet. Bounce Back Berry is rounder and blueberry-forward. Both are non-carbonated, so drink them cold and shake first.
Can I drink one every day?
One can is one serving. Plenty of customers use it after workouts or on travel days. If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a known medical condition, check with your physician first.
Vegan? Gluten free?
Yes to both — and the whole No List: no carbonation, no preservatives, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial colors. Also gluten free, vegan, non-GMO, soy free and caffeine free.
What if it doesn't work for me?
