> maybe once a year you sure you didn't just lower your tolerance?
Your tolerance naturally changes as you get older and the hangovers last longer.
Something to sober you up if you're already drunk would be amazing, but I don't think this will do that
> Something to sober you up if you're already drunk would be amazing ... But it's the fun of alcohol! What'd be amazing would be something that really works against the headaches and/or prevent vomiting. Basically something for the next day or even the next two days (when you get old, if you party too hard it can take two days to feel good again: I hate it so at 50 I very rarely party hard anymore: maybe once a year)…
If you start vomiting then you overdid it. Your body is trying to save you from poisoning. To prevent the headaches just drink lots of water.
If you're an alcoholic, and your body is physically dependent on alcohol consumption, would this allow you to satisfy your physical cravings without the deleterious effects normally associated with alcohol addiction? Kind of like how a nicotine patch helps satisfy the physical addiction?
Quitting alcohol requires medical supervision for those who are deep into alcohol use disorder.

Sounds like maybe the "alcohol free"/"0.0%" beer (not really 100% alcohol free) is something you should try. Tastes and looks like beer, but doesn't come with the buzz (which is the thing that your brain hooks into and uses to tell you it isn't enough yet).
> Tastes and looks like beer I have tried almost every major non-alcoholic beer in the U.S., and none of them truly taste exactly like beer.

Should I take it when I'm ready to sober up or before drinking as well if I want to make sure I don't get too drunk but still have a good buzz?
Take it a couple of hours before drinking. You won't feel as drunk and will have less of a hangover.

The hardest part of reducing my alcohol consumption is that I love red wine so much. The flavor, the aroma, the acidity, everything. I have stopped drinking all alcohol except red wine because of the health effects. I would be delighted to have a way to drink wine without any intoxication.
Red wine being healthy is a myth. But misunderstood, see below…
I honestly don't "get" why someone would use this? It doesn't reverse intoxication, and it doesn't prevent alcohol from entering the bloodstream. I get that alcoholic drinks taste better than their non-alcoholic counterparts (frozen margaritas are so much better than slush puppies,) but this won't prevent the buzz / intoxication.

Dihydromyricetin[1] can accomplish this remarkably effectively. It's available on Amazon. Also works great for hangovers. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3292407/

(if you take it, you will get sick if you drink alcohol)
Personally, tequila works on me in a similar way when I smell it.
