Milk Thistle at least, for sure. Take is before you go out or at least before bed. But if you are drinking , you might not remember when you pass out!?

There are a lot of liver products out...some I used are American Cellular Liver Xtreme and Liv 50 (can't remember who makes that)

Take liv-52 or tyler liver detox. Try to avoid milk thistle its not that great and decreases AR sensitivity.

niacin is hepatoxic in high doses, so i wouldnt load up on them as its counterintuitive.

the best way would be to elevate gluthathione via ala, NAC, and glutamine.

Well, when I was partying, coming home, taking a detox product of milk thistle, always woke up feeling pretty damn good! Hangover was minimal

As for a pro hormone cycle, always used the liver detox "stacks"

Have heard many different theroies on Milk Thistle and pro hormones, but he was asking about BOOZE so milk thistle always worked well for me in those situations.

milk thistle is definitely good for cleaning the liver out, its  a cholerectic and cholagouge so it makes sense.
