About DrinkAlt

Cutting through functional beverage marketing hype with data from 10,000+ verified user reviews.

The Problem We Solve

Functional beverage marketing rarely matches actual user experiences. Most review sites either regurgitate brand claims or rely on single-person opinions. We built DrinkAlt to aggregate real user data at scale.

How We Rank

AI-powered analysis of verified reviews across Amazon, Reddit, Thingtesting, Leafly, and brand websites.

Ranking criteria:

• Effect consistency (40%): Do users report similar experiences?
• User satisfaction (30%): Overall ratings from verified purchases
• Value (20%): Effects per dollar spent
• Availability (10%): Can you actually buy it?

Minimum threshold: 50+ reviews per product before inclusion.

Zero Conflicts of Interest

We don't earn money from product recommendations. No affiliate commissions, no brand partnerships, no paid placements. Our rankings are based purely on verified user reviews and objective data.

Regulatory Compliance

The legal landscape for functional beverages—particularly those containing THC, CBD, or controlled substances—is rapidly evolving.

Our Policy:

• We review product legality quarterly
• Products that become illegal are immediately removed
• We archive reviews for reference but don't promote illegal products
• We add regulatory warnings when legality is uncertain

Recent Changes (2025):

Congressional restrictions on hemp-derived THC products were enacted in November 2025. Some products previously featured may no longer be legally available.

Always verify: Check federal, state, and local regulations before purchasing any product containing THC, CBD, or controlled substances.

Future Plans

As we scale, we plan to add in-house testing with verified protocols:

• Blind taste testing with diverse participant groups
• Effect tracking with standardized metrics
• Long-term use studies (30-90 day trials)
• Independent lab analysis of ingredient accuracy
