You’re not alone if you’re rethinking alcohol. Whether you’re cutting back, quitting entirely, or just looking for a better way to unwind, hemp-derived THC and functional nootropics can offer real alternatives—without the hangover or regret.
Why People Are Making the Switch
Alcohol has been the default social lubricant for decades. But more people are realizing it comes with a cost:
- Poor sleep
- Anxiety and mood swings
- Empty calories
- Slower recovery
- Foggy mornings
At Rad Dad, we see people every week who want to change their relationship with alcohol—but still want something to replace it. That’s where we come in.
What Makes Hemp-Derived THC a Better Alternative
The right product can help you:
- Relax after a long day
- Feel more social or comfortable in group settings
- Sleep deeper and wake up sharper
- Unwind without triggering anxiety or sugar cravings
There’s no one-size-fits-all product—but there’s something for every kind of drink-skipper.
Rad Dad Products That Work Well as Alcohol Replacements

2. Low-Dose Gummies

How to Build a Ritual That Replaces the Drink
The key is to swap the habit, not just the substance. Try this:
- Pour a THC seltzer into your favorite glass
- Sit in the same space you’d normally have a drink
- Breathe, sip, and enjoy it as part of your unwind routine
- Track how you feel the next morning (spoiler: usually way better)
It’s not about getting “high.” It’s about finding a better way to decompress.
