I know why alcohol sales are down; people have traded alcohol for narcotic drinks that are much more powerful, addictive, and dangerous, all of which are operating under the radar of regulatory agencies.
Case in Point: the viral “Feel Free“ drink.
Feel Free is a controversial herbal tonic produced by the company Botanic Tonics
Marketed as a “plant-based” and “natural” mood-booster, the drink has been widely criticized by addiction specialists and public health advocates due to its main ingredients: kratom and kava.
- Kratom: In low doses, this Southeast Asian plant acts as a stimulant, and in higher doses, it produces sedative, opioid-like effects. Kratom can be addictive and cause withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, and cravings.
- Kava: This root from the South Pacific has relaxing and calming properties. Long-term, heavy use has been linked to liver damage.
Despite being advertised as a “healthy” alcohol alternative, especially to the sober-curious community, the drink’s potent ingredients carry serious risks.
- Highly addictive: The kratom in Feel Free acts on the same brain receptors as opioids, leading to dependency and severe withdrawal symptoms in frequent users.
- Misleading marketing: The company has been sued for allegedly misleading marketing that downplays the risk of addiction. While Botanic Tonics now includes warnings on its website and labels about the drink’s habit-forming potential, addiction specialists and former users claim these warnings came too late.
- Severe withdrawal: Users who have become dependent on Feel Free report suffering from intense withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit, with some individuals reporting anxiety, depression, and severe skin issues.
Kratom and kava are not regulated by the FDA, and there have been calls for greater oversight. Lawsuits have been filed against Botanic Tonics over the addictive nature of its product, with some alleging it was deceptively marketed. The company has settled some of these lawsuits and added warnings to its products.
So don’t believe the hype. The alcohol sales crash is not because people are getting sober and improving their health. It’s simply because they have found a more powerful narcotic to mask their problems and keep their head buried in the sand. Most of them are not getting “free” of anything. They are actually becoming even more addicted, slaves, and addictive drinks is just the tip of the iceberg .

One response to “I know why alcohol sales have crashed, and it ain’t good news…”
The government is in an I don’t care position. They don’t care about anything but what they can do to enhance their own position or wealth. This disregard is just what the WORLD ECNOMIC FORUM and New World ORDER wants in order to reach their population of 500,000,000. People who are constantly under one means or the other to block out reality works in their behalf. Birth rates are down. The drive for DEI and all other situations work in the behalf. Then we have if the 1st one wasn’t bad enough another VAX which is “””better”””??? to kill more people. Just for some thought!!!
