He didn't even lose the elixir. The snake took a sip of it when he wasn't looking, and he just kinda sat there to watch what happened to the snake. Seeing what it did, and thinking it neat - but no longer desiring immortality - he just chucked the rest of the bottle into the Gate. He drinks from it whenever he has to spend an extended period of time in the human/modern world as a Servant, so he can fuck around.

>... he was given a flesh body and regurgitated back into the present world. As a result, Gilgamesh was completely incarnated and continued to survive as an existence with a physical body. Also worth mentioning is that, thanks to the changed shape and personality granted by the potion of youth, the super egotistical Gilgamesh was able to live in the human society for 10 years without much trouble.

>It might seem strange how Gil could live in human society for ten years with a personality like his and not cause a fuss, but Gil must have realized it would have been a problem, too, because apparently he drank a certain Noble Phantasm to change his appearance and personality.

>By the time he had finished speaking, he had brought forth a small bottle.
>Everyone who was there to witness it would fondly reminisce about it later. And what was it? It was “a distortion of space, from which emerged a single carafe that fell right into the Heroic Spirit’s hand.”
>It was a beautifully-ornamented vessel made of who-knows-what. Perhaps china or perhaps crystal—either way, it was lustrous and translucent. Some sort of liquid washed about within it.
