Skip the Hangover: Cannabis as a Healthier Alternative to Alcohol

 July 29, 2025  Written by Jeff Rowse

Every year, International Beer Day celebrates cold brews and good times. But the very next day, National Hangover Day, tends to bring something else entirely: headaches, dehydration, and regret. It’s a not-so-gentle reminder that alcohol doesn’t always love us back.

What if there was a better way to unwind, socialize, and enjoy yourself without the crash that comes the next day?

That’s where cannabis from Feel State Florissant comes in. Whether you're looking for something to help you relax or something to elevate your night out, we offer a wide variety of products that make great alternatives to alcohol with no hangover.

What Is National Hangover Day?

National Hangover Day falls on the day after International Beer Day, which is the first Friday in August. Whether you're sipping lagers or ales, many people wake up Saturday morning with dry mouths, sore heads, and one question: Why did I do that?

This day gives us the perfect chance to rethink how we celebrate and what alternatives we might try next time.

Why People Are Rethinking Alcohol

Alcohol has been a go-to social tool for generations. But more people today are starting to question the trade-off. While it can help you feel relaxed or sociable in the moment, it often leaves your body stressed, your sleep interrupted, and your liver working overtime.

That’s why more young people are turning to cannabis for stress relief, social connection, and relaxation without the long list of side effects. Feel State Florissant carries a wide range of options perfect for anyone exploring cannabis as a substitute for alcohol.

How Cannabis Can Fill the Same Role Without the Hangover

Cannabis offers many of the same benefits people look for in alcohol, like relaxation, stress relief, and a social buzz, without the damage alcohol can do to your body.

Here’s how cannabis stands apart:

And the best part? You can wake up clear-headed and ready for your day.

Top Cannabis Products That Replace Beer, Wine, or Cocktails

If you're curious about swapping booze for bud, here are a few product types worth exploring at Feel State Florissant:

1. Infused Beverages

Cannabis drinks are usually fizzy, always flavorful, and perfect for sipping socially. Look for something with 20 to 25 milligrams of THC, but remember you don’t need to finish it all at once. Once you start feeling the effects, you can reseal the can to keep the carbonation fresh and save the rest for later.

2. Edibles (Low-Dose Gummies)

Want to feel good without smoking? A small gummy can ease you into a relaxed mood without overpowering you. Start with 1.25 to 2.5 milligrams and see how you feel before considering an additional dose.

3. Pre-rolls

A few gentle puffs of a calming strain, especially one rich in myrcene or linalool, may help take the edge off without clouding your mind.

4. Activated THC Powder

Looking to dull the ache without the hair of the dog? Activated THC powder is the perfect addition to that morning cup of coffee.

Pro Tips for Making the Switch

  • Start low, go slow. Especially if you're new to cannabis, begin with low doses.
  • Ask your budtender. At Feel State Florissant, we love helping you find products that match your mood and occasion.
  • Stay hydrated. Even without alcohol, water is your best friend.
  • Pair with food. Just like wine and cheese, cannabis and snacks go great together.

Final Thoughts: Cheers to Clearer Mornings

This year, consider celebrating National Hangover Day a little differently. Instead of battling headaches and regrets, explore a calmer, cleaner way to unwind with cannabis.

Whether you're looking for a social lift, a solo chill, or simply a better morning after, Feel State Florissant has the perfect products to help you make the switch.
