ALKAA Reviews: Real Experiences & Feedback

If you had asked me a few months ago if I had an alcohol sensitivity, I would have said no.

Now, I *did* get a beet red face whenever I drank any amount of alcohol, but I just figured that was a result of my rosacea, and that there wasn’t anything I could do about it.

My friend had some Alkaa and offered a sachet for me to try, and I did. To my surprise, I did not get red-faced, even after three cocktails. Not only that, but the slight nausea and general queasy feeling I often experienced after a few drinks was *completely* gone. So much so that I had to remind myself not to overindulge. Because, as my friend explained, Alkaa does remove the acetaldehyde and other stuff that can cause adverse reactions, but doesn’t reduce the ethanol. So you can still get drunk if you have too much.

Needless to say, I hate getting red-faced after I’ve gone to the trouble to put on makeup and dress up for a night out, so I decided to buy my own stash of Alkaa. Now I’ve taken to using it with every drink, and even pre-treating whole bottles of liquor at home (for convenience) because the feeling of enjoying the buzz—without the burning red face and gross sick feeling I used to get—is just too addictive.

I will say that it doesn’t work as well if you don’t follow the directions. You have to leave it in your drink for 5 minutes (10 minutes to reuse the same sachet in a second drink), and swirl gently a few times. It works by filtering the alcohol, so you have to get it in contact with all the liquid. And it does tend to float in fizzy drinks, so you kinda have to push it down a few times.

Also, if I drink any alcohol without using it, or have even a few sips before it’s done filtering, I get some flushing. So I’m strict with myself and wait the full 5 minutes (sometimes I’ll order or make my next drink early so it has 10 minutes to work before I’m ready to drink it). And I have to resist the urge to squeeze it, since that would just put all the junk back in my drink.

Even though it works out to almost $3 per sachet, after using it twice, it’s a little over a buck per drink. To me, it’s a small price to pay to avoid a hot, burning face and still enjoy a few drinks.

I tried it three different times, on three. different days. Two of the bags I reused as suggested. I had wine one night; and, I had two mixed drinks another weekend. Another night, I had one mixed drink. I don’t drink frequently anymore as it makes me feel so unwell., even with just two ounces of wine. I used the sachets. On all three evenings and i had no negative issues. I was actually testing them to see what they were like and to see. if they were something i would be comfortable sharing with family and friends. I am and i did! This makes light drinking more enjoyable and doable while eliminating nasty toxins with no grogginess , headaches or waking up at night:. I noticed less sweating too. I also noticed no change of taste in my drinks either. Even though it’s a bit pricy, it remains especially affordable for light to moderate drinking and I believe a bit healthier as well due to less toxins taken into the body. I will remain a light drinker now that my tests are done but I feel better about having even a glass or two here or there in life without tge baggage of discomfort or toxins!.

My extreme gastrointestinal symptoms following more than 2 drinks were significantly lessened by using ALKAA. If you’re treating a drink in a bar, these tagged sachets are key to not looking like an unhygienic fool, if you care about such things!

After trying DAO and digestive enzymes and still flushed with a headache. I felt hopeless. I tried sachet a couple times and so far so good! I still had some stomach discomfort but it could have been the indulging of food too hahaha (tend to eat like a teenager on vacation) Excited to try a sachet with wine with the gals

I have always been subject both to next day hangovers (brutal headaches, vomiting at times) as well as flushes and general discomfort and sleep disturbance from alcohol. I cannot attest to how well this stuff works on its own for next day hangovers because I also use a product called RU-21 that pretty much prevents those. But RU-21 does nothing for those uncomfortable, sleep disturbing effects the night of. ALKAA kicks those in the butt tho. I now have an effective combo for all my symptoms. Since RU-21 works so well for the next day symptoms I’m not keen to experiment to see how well ALKAA does on its own. I’ll just use both!

So, over the past few years I have been struggling with nausea, sweating palpitations and upset stomach following alcohol. I drank less and less ( not a big drinker anyway) , only had lower alcohol drinks etc etc. I tried Alkaa and thought, hmmn, think I feel ok? Recently went away with friends and drank wine using Alkaa every single time, didn't consider alcohol content and I was absolutely fine! No sicky feeling after midday glass, no sweats and nausea in the night. Slept well and no upset stomach. I can't begin to explain how relieved and yes, less anxious I became when having a drink. Still don't drink loads but game changer for me.
Spirits are next on my list as not dared drink any for quite a few years now. Thank you Sarah and Paul 😊

Ok, so I have always wanted to drink wine, but everytime I do I get a raging headache and feel hungover even though I am not even buzzed. I experimented the other night with Alkaa and man what a difference. I was able to drink 3 glasses throughout the night and felt fine the next day. Even though I have only tried it once, I am so pleasantly surprised. I am looking forward to trying it in different types of beverages to see the outcome. So far so good!

Did not have reflux all night and even avoided the fluid retention weight normally associated with adult beverages the night before.
Look Forward to trying this with other beverages as well. I don’t know what the magic is, but it works!

I have used ALKAA this past week as I have been visiting family in England. I usually dread it as there is a lot of alcohol consumed and I can get ill even after one drink. I have woken up every morning feeling refreshed and ready for my day ahead! Thank you!

I leave these on my bar top at home and use them for wine and whiskey every time, they are great! They do change the taste, but worth the reward!

My friend recommended it, I was trying to stay away from alcohol. Few weeks ago, I went to a winery and it is hard not to indulge in a glass or two, so decided to give them a try. I was surprised that the taste of wine didn’t change. They don’t dilute its taste.

I really didn’t think Alkaa would work for me. I didn’t understand why alcohol over the years began to make me feel awful, but I eventually completely gave it up for a few years because the side effects were not worth it anymore. I would wake up in the middle of the night anxious, sweaty, head pounding, overall feeling of terrible. I saw this product and really didn’t think it would work, but thought what the heck let’s give it a try and I did so through samples. One evening I had a few cocktails and used Alkaa exactly as advised. I went to bed wondering what my fate would be in a few hours and to my surprise nothing happened. I woke up the next morning and really couldn’t even tell that I had any alcohol the night before. It was a miracle! I couldn’t believe it. I think giving Alkaa a try is a must! It could be a game changer for you! 100% recommend.

Drinking alcohol has been problematic as I cruise through menopause. One drink can leave me with a horrible headache the next day along with what feels like a hangover. Haven’t had a headache or ‘hangover’ since using Alkaa.

No string, no tag, no drama. Just a tiny sachet that means business. I liked how small it was—easy to toss in my bag or even slip in a pocket. Doesn’t scream “I drink too much,” which is always a bonus. Works just as great as the larger sachet sizes and I get 2 uses out of one!

I’m loving that tea-style build of the sachet, with the little string and tag handle that lets you swirl it around like you’re making a cozy cup of detox magic.

For such a small sachet, I had four cocktails throughout my evening, the first I left in for 5, second I left in for 10, 3rd 15, and the last I simply left it in the glass the whole time. I noticed a huge difference in drinking the same cocktail I normally do, surely a little dehydrated but much less head fog and "gross" feeling one might correlate with alcohol, I'm not sensitive by any means, I just enjoy cocktails quite a bit, and this has entered my new rotation of things to keep in my bag 🤙

I love this product, it’s really one of its kind!

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.

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
