A Sip of Clarity: Reducing your Alcohol Intake & Drinking Cannabis

Alcohol and Cannabis have deep historical and cultural roots in societies around the globe. Way back when water wasn’t safe to drink, alcohol was the alternative— and today it still plays a central role in many traditions. But we aren’t going to bore you with facts you already know. As a drinkable cannabis company, we're here to help you understand the differences so you can “sip, sip — ahhhh.”

The Healthier Choice:

While alcohol consumption comes with hangovers, dehydration, and Sunday scaries, cannabis can alleviate pain, enhance sleep, and curb those anxieties. It is also considered less addictive than alcohol with a lower risk of alcohol, while the excessive use of alcohol can lead to addiction, liver damage and other health issues. 

But it isn't all bad news— studies are showing trends that the “consumption of better-for-you alcohol products increased by 20% in 2022,” and companies are popping up around the world introducing alcohol alternatives. The “better-for-you” category includes our thc infused beverages, that give you that buzz without the negative effects.

What You Need to Know.

Cannabis can be consumed in various ways, from smoking, vaping, edibles and drinkables (like our products!). Inversely, alcohol can only be consumed in liquid form— booooo. With our drinks, you can stay at the party all night long while enjoying a quicker onset, a variety of flavors, and a chilled out high.


One more thing— the chemical composition of cannabis can be confusing, but we are going to break it down for you. Cannabis is a complex plant with over 100 different compounds. Delta-9, the flower-derived substance that we use in our products, contains the compound THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is a cannabinoid that creates the "high.” Different cannabinoids can even create various effects such as sleepiness or energy. For products with CBD (cannabidiol), that just means it offers calming effects without the intoxication.

Now, on the other hand, alcohol primarily refers to ethanol (ethyl), a psychoactive substance that depresses the central nervous system. Being a toxin or poison, the compound is small enough to travel within your body and affect everything from cognitive to mechanical functions. While both substances affect the way we think and behave, they utilize different methods to produce their unique effects. Don’t let the small size of the ethanol molecule fool you— its damaging effects are not limited.

Whew! Wasn’t too bad, was it?
