Getting High Makes You Drink Less? Science Says Yes
A new cannabis and alcohol study shows people drink less after getting high — and the results are way more interesting than expected.
Published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the study found that people who smoked high-potency cannabis drank 27 percent less alcohol, while those on a weaker strain drank 19 percent less, compared to a placebo joint. Participants also waited longer to take their first drink, suggesting cannabis might slow-roll the urge to chase a buzz with another buzz.
