I like the buzz. Its really manageable. This product offers a nice relaxed energy and definitely boosts my mood immediately. It cuts down the need or desire for alcohol but I like that I can still enjoy a beer or two along with this. I am still working out the right dosage and timing. It seems to hit really quick with the mood enhancer but the buzz takes a good 1-2 hours to kick in. I have to be careful. First 2 times I made the mistake of thinking that the mood enhancement stage was the buzz so I overdid it a bit. Here is what worked well for me: 10mgs in a drink that I down quickly with purpose - 2 minutes or less. Then, 15 mgs mixed in a 30-40 ounce drink that I can ingest over the next several hours. This way, my mood is instantly raised. The buzz kicks in in about 1-2 hours (I wish that was quicker and more predictable) Then I'm able to keep a nice manageable buzz going to the rest of the night and my mood stays upbeat with every sip.
