Whether my positive experience with Chaser is the placebo effect or the real deal doesn't matter to me... magic feather or no, I feel significantly better in the morning. Honestly, though, I always have to be "good" about getting food in me and pacing myself -- my scant 92 pounds don't allow me to drink multiple drinks in a night without good drinking habits. I didn't seek to start taking Chasers myself, Hanford started taking them, and I absent-mindedly started heeding his offers of them through the night. So in my case, it wasn't a concerted effort.
