Noopept, alcohol, and hangovers

After reading about them for a while, I finally decided to give nootropics a try and see what all the fuss is about. I started fairly aggressively, ordering 5g of Noopept, 10 g of phenylpiracetam, and a bunch of L-theanine, all from LiftMode. So far I've only taken the Noopept and L-theanine, since I'm waiting for my choline to arrive before trying the phenyl.
I tried Noopept for the first time yesterday, taking 30 mg orally in water, but then another 30 mg sublingually about an hour later when I read that's a better method (which based on the literature is debatable). While I did feel my focus to be slightly enhanced, I am wary that that may be a placebo effect, and that the benefits of Noopept are said to be gradual and cumulative.
What I simply cannot chalk up to a placebo is the effect it had on me when I got bombed (or rather should have gotten bombed) last night. I drank eight beers and two generous glasses of Maker's Mark over the course of five hours while watching a couple movies and hanging out with my girlfriend. I'm no stranger to drinking for fun, and I know my limits. This was well beyond them, and yet I felt none of the fuzziness or lack of focus…

Hi, if you don't mind me asking, did you purchase any of the pitolisant during the recent group buy? I see that people are claiming that it tastes a bit like citrus, and it numbs the mouth, so it probably isn't baking soda from the fake chinese source you mentioned.
I ordered 3 grams, and I plan on contacting Colmeric, but to be honest I would like to save my money so if you purchased some and have sent it away for analysis please let me know :)

The citrus and mouth numbing definitely does not sound baking soda. We are not going to be testing any of the pitolisant from Longecity. I do believe we are getting a 1 gram from it, though.
