Lots of good points.I favor the time argument, that there just isn't time to
consume two alether potions or berry handfuls before a battle. After all, there
has to be a reason someone invented "concentrated" potions, right? Or maybe
it's just to save backpack slots. :)

The logic of concentration seems perfectly fine. I would argue, however, that
engaging in combat is not something you get to stop and wonder about by
default. So its more of a question of time consuming actions than
concentration. Many sections simply describe your encounter with your foe and
proceed to being resolved by combat. Take book 1 of LW for example, when he is
attacked by the thieves in the store in Holmgard. This is a scene where you
dont actualy get a chance to do anything before you are struck and need to
defend yourself. You could say that after that preemptive strike you get the
chance to take a single action out of combat before moving on with the fight,
but your foe will not likely wait for you to complete your strategized
concotion before striking you again.
Outside of combat sections, I dont see any trouble with taking multiple potions
and having their effects stack. But when you are facing a terrible opponent
that is hellbent on taking your life, taking your time to sip from multiple
flasks can be your downfall.

Sergio,
I don't believe there was ever any explicit mention made of this in the rules
or the Lone Wolf Club Newsletter, one way or the other.
Using common sense though, I would argue there's no reason why can't take
multiple doses of alether before combat.
There are various sources of alether in the books, from the berries themselves,
to potions, to "concentrated" potions, each giving progressively higher bonuses
- so that would suggest to me that a "concentrated" potion (+4 CS) simply has
more active ingredient in it than a handful of the berries (+2 CS) - therefore,
the concentrated potion has "stacked up" the effects itself - so you could also
stack up multiple potions/berries?
In practice I've rarely done this myself, but I've certainly taken multiple
doses of Laumspur without a second thought!
Anyone else got an opinion?
David

Hello Project Aon.
Can you drink or ingest more than one Alether before a battle so that their
effects stack up?
