The herb. There is no herb here; the active is a ketone precursor. Ketohol is the maker's name for R-1,3-butanediol, a diol the liver converts into beta-hydroxybutyrate, the same ketone body the body makes during fasting or a strict ketogenic diet. The drinkable form arrived recently as an alternative to alcohol for people who want the social ease without the ethanol.

What's in it. The key ingredient is 15g of Ketohol per can, with 0.0% alcohol and 0g carbohydrates. As the liver processes the butanediol into ketones, users describe a light, uplifted, loosened feeling they compare to the first drink of an evening, with none of the next-morning fog. The piña colada flavor is sweet and tropical with a light carbonation.

Dosage, first time. Drink one can slowly over twenty to thirty minutes and see how you feel before opening another. Onset is usually within fifteen to thirty minutes and the feeling fades over a couple of hours. Have it with food the first time.

Regular use. Most people count one can as one drink and keep an evening to one or two. Ketohol is processed by the liver, so pace it rather than stacking cans back to back.

What to expect. Users describe an easygoing, social lift with a light body buzz, no alcohol and no hangover, which suits a dinner out or a dry month. It is not a stimulant and not a caffeine drink. For a non-buzzing sparkling option, see our Sensori Sparkling Beverage.

Side effects. Butanediol at larger amounts is documented to cause lightheadedness, drowsiness, a mild upset stomach and a loose, wobbly feeling similar to alcohol. If any appear, stop for the evening and drink water. Too many cans in a sitting will feel like too many drinks.

Interactions and cautions. Do not combine with alcohol, sedative medications or anything else that slows you down. Do not drive after drinking it until you know your response. Not for use if pregnant or nursing, or with a liver condition. For adults 21+ only.

Ingredients and storage. The maker lists 15g of Ketohol as the key ingredient, piña colada flavor, 0.0% alcohol and 0g carbohydrates; see the can for the full panel. Store cool and serve chilled; do not freeze the can.
