The effect of an amethystic product on ethanol in humans.
A putative amethystic product was studied in two cohorts of human subjects. The amethystic product (Sobrietol) was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions while control subjects received water in place of the Sobrietol solution. The two cohorts were challenged with 1.2 ml/lb and 1.4 ml/lb of 80 proof liquor, respectively, with subsequent breath alcohol (BrAC) measurement. In cohort 1, Sobrietol reduced the area under the BrAC curve (AUC) by 15.1% (p = 0.003) relative to controls; in cohort 2 the AUC was reduced by 12.5% (p = 0.011) relative to controls. It appears that the amethystic product Sobrietol can eliminate significantly greater ethanol than ethanol eliminated by similar controls.
