The Science Behind Alcohol and THC – Making An Informed Decision
While alcohol has traditionally played a central role in cultural and social interactions, times are changing. Daily, the decades-old stigma that surrounds Hemp, cannabis is evolving and being dispelled with increased global acceptance due to the wide range of beneficial applications.. As an alternative way to achieve and define one’s optimal state of mood modulation, hemp, cannabis and other adaptogenic ingredients are quickly becoming a go-to choice for many adult consumers…
To get a better understanding of how alcohol and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) affect our body, you need to consider your genetic makeup, metabolism, consumption, and frequency of use.
How Does Alcohol Affect Your Body?
When you drink alcoholic beverages, the alcohol enters your bloodstream, slows down the central nervous system, and reaches every organ. Your liver then breaks down the alcohol at a rate of approximately one drink per hour. The faster you drink, the slower your body breaks down the alcohol, and the more you feel the effects.
Along with your organs, alcohol also affects the brain. It alters neurotransmitter systems, changing mood, brain function, and behavior. Not always for the best. When you drink heavily over an extended period, it can cause permanent brain damage and negatively affect your cognitive abilities.
How Does THC Affect Your Body?
Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD affect your body in a completely different way. When you consume cannabinoids, they bind with receptors located in your Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Your ECS is a complicated cell-signaling system that helps regulate bodily functions such as memory, mood, appetite, sleep, and reproduction.
Because THC is similar to the endocannabinoids our bodies naturally produce, it binds with the same receptors, causing that familiar feeling of euphoria. Your natural metabolism typically breaks down THC, reducing its effects within a few hours of consumption.
When you consider the potential health risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption, it’s natural to understand why many adults are choosing or switching to THC or cannabis products over alcohol.
Why People Choose Cannabis-Infused Drinks
Apart from the negative health aspects associated with alcohol consumption, there are a variety of reasons why cannabis-infused drinks are the perfect way to celebrate Dry January, or simply complement any occasion involving food and socials with friends.
Furthermore, a large segment of adults have a desire to explore and integrate the benefits of THC, cannabinoids and adaptogens to suit their lifestyle BUT don’t or won’t consume by smoking. Delicious, refreshing THC-infused drinks are the most appealing and approachable format to sip to their sweet spot!
A New Kind of Social Experience
Unlike alcohol, which leads to hangovers, hazy memories, loss of control, and inappropriate behavior, THC-infused beverages enhance sensory perception and can lead to joyful and buzzy moments of laughter, good vibes, thoughtful and sassy conversations with friends, family, and coworkers.
It’s time to say goodbye to hangxiety and the aftereffects of drinking too much alcohol thanks to Sweet Justice and say hello to waking up clear-headed, refreshed, and ready to get on with your day after a great night with friends or family.
