People drink alcohol for many different reasons. They may even drink it thinking they’re getting some sort of benefit — but alcohol has zero health benefits.
There is a natural remedy that has virtually no side effects that can help reduce or prevent alcohol consumption. This remedy has been around since at least 600 AD, and it has been studied and shown significant results.

Natural remedy to help reduce alcohol
The best natural remedy to help reduce alcohol consumption is called kudzu. You can consume this in a salad or take it as an extract.
A placebo-controlled double-blind study done on mice showed that one dose (2 g) of kudzu significantly decreased the desire for alcohol within 2.5 hours.
Kudzu has very special phytonutrients that are involved in the breakdown of ethanol. It’s very similar to certain medications used to help people curb their appetite for alcohol.
You can consume kudzu a couple of hours before an event where you might drink alcohol, and it can help reduce the desire for alcohol or the toxic effect of alcohol.
Kudzu also works on certain neurotransmitters in the brain directly involved in addiction. One study even suggests kudzu may help reduce cravings for cocaine.
After 35 years of battling alcohol consumption, I walked into an AA meeting two years ago and I have been alcohol free and happily liberated ever since. I have been able to avoid it all together and I don’t miss it. AA performed a miracle for me.
I quit drinking 9 years ago, and it’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever given myself. I am so much healthier, and look and feel so much better. Quitting drinking was a real life changer for me. And after I made it past the first few months, I’ve never missed it or craved it at all. I highly recommend it.
I quit drinking almost 2 years ago. Definitely one of the better decisions I’ve made! Only bizarre thing was, for quite a few months there, my bloodwork got ironically worse when it came to cholesterol(HDL especially plummeted), and I had less energy at the gym because I guess my body had become so used to using it for my carbs. After about a year though my bloodwork started coming back better and my body fully adapted and I’d never go back to drinking again… I enjoy remembering all my nights!
