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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants will be eligible if they report on the screening survey: * living in California and provide a California mailing address (to ship study materials to) * consuming ≤42 alcoholic beverages per week (as we seek to provide an equal count of the substitute beverage and budgetary restrictions prevent an amount greater than that) * having alcohol use disorder documented with ≥2 symptoms on the Alcohol Symptom Checklist * being enrolled in Ria Health treatment * having English language fluency Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals will be excluded at the online screener survey stage if they do not meet all of the inclusion criteria.
