Question 1

dextrose is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Dextrose: Is d isomer of glucose, or simple sugar.  It is a necessary fuel source for humans.  I suppose too much of it taken by mouth could be bad because it might raise blood sugar and Insulin requirements.  But so are a lot of other things when taken in extreme amounts.

Question 5

can dextrose prevent you from being intoxicated?

Accepted Answer

No but . . .: Avoiding alcohol & other mind altering medications will prevent you from being intoxicated. Yeah, i know, not the answer you wanted but hey, the truth sometimes hurts. With that said, having some (fatty) food in your stomach when you imbibe might slow down its absorption such that you're less likely to get drunk but you need to know your limit. Besides no benefit from exceeding 2 drinks/d in men.

Eat and enjoy what your body needs to pound yourself to death the next day. I am an experienced marathoner and triathelete.
