a superior-to-alcohol alternative
"the mice were stumbling"
Hard Ketones offers a unique buzz without alcohol (nor THC, Kratom, Kava, or jungle herbal elixirs). They feature patented Ketohol (R 1,3 Butanediol). Originally researched by Dr. Veech for therapeutic use, because it elevates blood ketones, but he discarded it because "the mice were stumbling". Frank, the Hard Ketones Founder, a decade later revived the molecule and thought people might like a healthier buzz, that suppresses appetite with no hangover!

What critics and fans are saying
Please read these comments to see if Hard Ketones are right for you. They are an acquired taste and tends to work for most, but not all, e.g. ssris & kratom users
Don’t expect this to taste perfect - a lingering aftertaste, but quite frankly, I DID get a buzz
Real Buzz with No Booze Is No Lie! Sure, it's pricey but it's SO much better for you than alcohol
Yay!!!! Been wanting to stop alcohol because it is literally poison, don’t like THC anymore and this is great!!!! G and T tastes delicious as well!!! Problem solved, thank you!!!
Acquired taste but excellent alcohol alternative
A Healthier Path Forward. The ultimate solution for individuals seeking a break from alcohol.
This stuff worked great for me and the taste was honestly better than most adult beverages.
Improved Taste & Potency - Great alternative as a social lubricant rather than the toxicity from alcohol... FYI - in ketosis since July 2019
flavor is tolerable with a good amount of ice, however the effects felt really great!
Best alcohol alternative I've found - The taste is pretty good, when acquired. It's hard to explain, but one can does give me some sort of buzz... –>
... I've swapped a can for the 2 glasses of wine I used to drink per night. Again, not cheap, but I sleep MUCH better and still get that relaxed feeling.

FAQ
All breathalyzers and urine tests will test for ethanol alcohol, or the byproduct acetaldehyde. So it will not show up. But you can still get a DUI (like you would for THC) so don't drive if impaired. As for blood tests, once a higher end blood test gave a false positive. It is best to show your employer/parole officer what you wish to take.
