NCT ID NCT07451574
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether giving people non-alcoholic beer or sparkling water can help them reduce their alcohol intake. 60 adults with alcohol use disorder who are already in treatment will receive one of the two drinks for 6 weeks. The main goal is to see if people find the drinks acceptable and easy to use, not to prove they work.

Active substance
non-alcoholic beer and sparkling water
What this could lead to
If this works, it could offer a simple, low-cost tool to help people cut back on alcohol during recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (60 people) testing only if people like the drinks and find them useful. It cannot prove whether the drinks actually reduce alcohol use.
