These are working really nice. I love that they don’t change the flavor and works well.
So until I came across an advert for ALKAA I thought there was nothing I could do about my intolerance to many alcoholic drinks which just seemed to be getting worse.
I leapt at the chance to try samples and hurray!, this may be the answer! Early days as only tried twice and only with a glass/2 glasses of wine, but much improved symptom wise. Going to order some more and see if leaving in for 10 minutes eleviates all my symptoms 🤞
I’ll preface this that I do not generally drink heavily, and next-day effects are pretty mild (tired/sluggish, maybe some brain fog). I used the sachets from this pack on two occasions where I consumed about 6oz of hard alcohol each occasion. I used the sachets exactly as directed. It’s possible I felt marginally better the next day, but I also was very careful to hydrate while drinking. For folks who have strong reactions to alcohol, this may have a much more noticeable effect. I don’t see value in adding this to my life, though I’m quite glad to have tried it out.
I initially bought ALKAA for my mother in law, and decided to give it a try myself. I genuinely thought that I didn’t get any symptoms after drinking, until I tried ALKAA as an experiment. It turns out I feel so much better after having a drink with ALKAA than I do without. Now I really don’t want to be without an assortment of ALKAA sachets! Thanks for making this Paul & Sara ❤️
I have an autoimmune disease that makes me reactive to alcohol resulting in hives immediately with the first sip. While I saw an improvement I still experienced itching, but it was a slower progression and lasted a shorter time. I only treated one drink with the packet because I didn’t want to suffer more itching during a nice dinner out. I was hoping this would be the silver bullet that would allow me to indulge in upcoming vacation. I did appreciate them offering a sample pack with their different size/shape options for a very reasonable price.
AJ: Thank you so much for trying ALKAA and leaving a review. I'm sorry to hear that it did not work 100% for you. I would like to offer a few suggestions due to your unique circumstances as I know you are looking for a solution to alcohol intolerance.
A 5-minute contact time works for most of our customers, but for those with additional issues (me included with the Lyme Disease) a longer contact time does the trick. I would recommend a 10-minute contact time. In our laboratory testing we did 5, 10, and 15 minutes tests. The 10 and 15 minute tests reduced considerably more toxins than the 5 minute test. If agreeable to you, I would like to see if you would be up to try a longer contact time with the sachets. If you need another Discover Pack please reach out to us via the contact page and I'll make sure you are taken care of.
Again, we really appreciate the review and your kind words and look forward to hopefully being the silver bullet you have been searching for.

This dram is an absolute game-changer! Not only is it incredibly practical, but it has also made a huge difference in managing allergic reactions from liquor. I’ve struggled with reactions in the past, but after using this, I noticed a significant improvement—no more discomfort or unpleasant side effects. It works exactly as promised, allowing me to enjoy my drinks without worry. The only downside is that I wish it came in a larger bottle because it’s that good! Hopefully, they’ll offer bigger sizes soon. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a reliable and effective solution!
As a young adult moving to the San Francisco Bay area, I learned wine from the tasting rooms of Napa Valley. From the start I learned Merlot would trigger a migraine, so I stuck to Cabernet for twenty years. Then Cabernet, even in the smallest amounts, became a guaranteed instant nap followed by a hangover headache. Lately I've limited myself to Italian wines; I've been told the difference has something to do with histamines. Whatever it is, that's the thing I'm sensitive to in New World wines.
But it feels weird to be critical of the wine when the family is sharing a bottle, which is most often Cabernet. And I do love a good Cabernet. So I play games of pre-hydrating, aerating for 30 minutes, and drinking the smallest glass. It's a dice roll with unpredictable results, mostly fails.
This sachet gave Cabernet back to me. I placed the sachet in the glass, set my timer, and swirled it off and on for five minutes. The wine needed time to open up anyway. Then I retrieved the sachet and set it aside on a tea rest before sipping. The wine now had a smoother, more refined texture while keeping the expected taste spot on. I repeated the process for a *gasp* second glass, following directions and swirling for ten minutes this time. Not only did I not require an instant nap, but I awoke the next morning with zero reminders of my indulgence.
Due to my own sensibilities, I am not ready to pull one out at the restaurant, but ALKAA lets me enjoy sharing a bottle with the family without having to ask like a bougie snob, "Is it Italian?"
PS: I also tried the sachet with whiskey and had the same result. I am overjoyed.
I appreciate the explanation of how your product is more about absorbing the toxins and not infusing ingredients. A relief from 20+ years of negative symptoms . I’m happy that you emphasized to continue to drink responsibly but for the occasional drinker, big game changer. Wish you guys more success
I’ve recently tried ALKAA, and while I do feel like the product has potential, I think I need to use it a few more times before I can fully gauge its effectiveness. My hangovers tend to vary quite a bit, so it’s hard to judge how well it’s working after just one or two tries.
The main downside is the price—it’s definitely on the higher end. However, depending on how my upcoming nights out go, I’ll be able to better assess whether it’s worth the investment.
Up to now, I’d recommend giving ALKAA a shot for yourself. If it works well for you, it could be worth it, especially if you tend to get bad hangovers.
One thing I’d like to see from the brand is more data on how it works. Some solid figures on how much it reduces toxins would be really helpful to better understand its effectiveness. I’ll be updating my review once I’ve used it a few more times
Hi Kyle,
We hear you and we are pleased to be able to announce our 21 page report that not only goes deep into the toxins our sachets remove, but also contains data from an independent lab showing how much of those toxins are removed in various types of alcohol. I will include the link but you can navigate to it by going to our Learn More section. We love that your first try with ALKAA went well. We wish you continued success and look forward to an updated review in the future. -Sara

I ordered some ALKAA sachets just over a month ago on recommendation from a good friend of mine. I don’t drink very often, haven’t since I received my order, but I’m a social drinker and last time I had a super strong reaction to the alcohol. Looking forward to trying ALKAA. Sara was super quick to respond and the order came very quickly and included a nice personal touch. Very much recommend!
I was so excited about this product but unfortunately it didn't stop me from flushing when I drink alcohol.
We are so sorry ALKAAA didn't work for you. Here are a few things to keep in mind in case you decide to try ALKAA again:
1) Even one untreated sip of alcohol can start a histimine response and our most sensitive ALKAA users can tell you that adhering to this suggestion will make or break your experience.
2) Keep that sachet moving in your drink for the full five minutes. Gentle agitation or swirling works best.
3) Don't squeeze the sachet at any point, but especially when removing it from your drink.
We know that even when someone follows all the guidelines ALKAA still may not work and we really wish we could have solved this problem for you. Thank you for trying ALKAA. We hope you spend your refund on something that brings you joy. -Sara
I was hopeful but very skeptical, as nothing I had tried before had worked. I can just report i was able to enjoy a glass of wine for our anniversary, for the first time in years. Thank you.
I’ve been using the product for about a month and a half. Last night was the first time I tried wine after having a mixed drink with dinner. In times past if I had two types of drinks, I would definitely get a headache. This time nothing happened! I felt great! So happy! Definitely recommend the product to everyone.
I truly felt great after having my glass of wine. Before I would get red, get headaches and sleepy. Now with ALKAA I am able to enjoy my glass of wine without the side effects😃
This is a staple in our home now. Worth every penny to wake up feeling normal the next day. This has really helped me and my wife our alcohol intolerance symptoms!
I’ve noticed a big difference in having a glass of wine with and without ALKAA sachets. It’s worth the extra effort & price to have a better day tomorrow to enjoy a glass of wine tonight ☺️
When I drink alcohol, my face starts to turn red, especially my nose My girlfriend was using the satchel. She gave me one. I did not think it was gonna work, but it did. My face and nose did not get red.
I’ve used a satchel twice now & have had positive results with it. I’ve only used in wine so far though- haven’t tried with liquor but plan to this weekend. :)
I was skeptical if these sachets would work but I had a smoked old fashioned with friends the other night and treated it with Alkaa. I typically get headaches, brain fog and terrible sleep but I woke up the next day feeling like I never even had alcohol. I have been telling my friends about these and will be keeping these sachets handy whenever I have a drink! Thank you for creating this amazing product
Although I don't drink alcohol much anymore, when I do, I love having a way to reduce the symptoms of alcohol intolerance, which for me have meant waking up in the middle of the night hot and with a dry mouth. Those days are gone now that I have found ALKAA!
They're just so practical and easy to swirl around and pull out. No grabbing a spoon or getting your fingers wet. Sachets with strings are the way to go!
Great packaging and easy to use. Work great
Using the ALKAA Sachets have been 100% amazing. My husband and I both feel great after an evening out when we've been drinking wine and/or cocktails. Using ALKAA on my nights out ensures that I can still get a great nights sleep and not wake up feeling icky. I recommend this product to all my family and friends. Thank you!!
I was skeptical, but after first use, it definitely seemed to help. It takes time, so you just need to order your next drink early!
I haven’t been able to have scotch in many years because it hurts my stomach and makes me sick for days. We were taking a family trip to Islay and I wanted so badly to taste the scotch at some of my favorite distilleries there. I used ALKAA and was able to enjoy a few drams of scotch pain free. Amazing!!! And I love the tiny tin too ☺️
