We’ve all read articles about how consuming alcohol, particularly frequently and heavily, is bad for your body. With the increased acceptance of cannabis use and the proliferation of THC drinks being sold, there is now a viable, practical and most importantly enjoyable alternative to catching a buzz via your favorite libation.
Here are a few reasons to consider pivoting from alcohol to cannabis:
- Regular alcohol consumption is linked to liver damage.
- THC Drinks don’t cause the same inflammatory or toxic effects to the liver as ethanol.
- Alcohol and particularly certain mixed drinks often contain significant sugar and carbs while many THC drinks are low-calorie or zero-calorie, like seltzers.
- Alcohol is highly addictive while THC has a much lower risk of dependence
- No hangover to worry about with your favorite THC drinks.
- Alcohol: Disrupts sleep cycles and reduces REM sleep.
- THC, especially indica strains can promote sleep, while alcohol may disrupt sleeping patterns.
None of this is to suggest that you should never have an alcoholic drink again. However, especially those focused on living your healthiest lifestyle ever, it may be beneficial (in lots of ways) to seek a buzz from a THC drink instead of alcohol.
