flag Cannabis use linked to reduced alcohol intake and liver disease risk in frequent users, per two 2025 studies.

flag A November 2025 study in The American Journal of Psychiatry found that smoking cannabis with 3.1% or 7.2% THC reduced alcohol consumption by 19% and 27% respectively in frequent users of both substances, suggesting a short-term substitution effect. flag A separate October 2025 study in Liver International linked cannabis use to a 40% lower risk of alcohol-associated liver disease among 33,114 individuals with alcohol use disorder, along with reduced risks of liver decompensation and death. flag Both studies found no increase in alcohol cravings or consumption due to cannabis use, though researchers emphasized the need for further study to understand mechanisms and potential medical applications.
