Can You Mix CBD and Alcohol?

Can you mix CBD and alcohol? There is no simple guarantee that the combination is harmless. Research is limited, products and doses vary, and both substances may contribute to sleepiness or reduced alertness in some people.

What happens when CBD and alcohol are combined?

CBD does not create the intoxicating high associated with THC, but that does not mean it is inert. Alcohol impairs judgement and coordination, and combining it with another product that affects how you feel may increase unwanted effects.

Small studies are sometimes quoted online, but they do not prove that CBD prevents intoxication, lowers risk or protects against a hangover. Do not use CBD as a way to make heavy drinking safer.

Can you use an INTUNE soda as a mixer?

INTUNE flavours can be used in cocktail recipes, but adding a spirit makes the finished drink alcoholic. Keep track of both the alcohol and the CBD serving. One INTUNE can contains 10mg CBD, which reaches the FSA’s current daily amount for a healthy adult.

When should you avoid the combination?

Avoid CBD if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive, and do not give it to children. If you take medication, are immunosuppressed or have liver disease, speak to a medical professional. Medication interactions and alcohol can create additional risks.

Driving

Never drive after drinking alcohol. CBD itself is not intoxicating like THC, but you should also avoid driving if you feel sleepy, dizzy or otherwise impaired.

An alcohol-free alternative

If your goal is to drink less alcohol, enjoy INTUNE on its own over ice rather than as a mixer. Read CBD drinks instead of alcohol for practical serving ideas.

Each INTUNE can contains 10mg CBD. The FSA advises healthy adults to limit CBD from food and drink to 10mg per day. CBD is not recommended for children or for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive. If you take medication, are immunosuppressed or have liver disease, speak to a medical professional before using CBD.
