A bit of background: I have a genetic predisposition to alcoholism, and I always get alcohol-free tinctures. I rarely drink, because I noticed when I do regularly, I'll start feeling like I need a drink, which is no bueno.After taking this tincture for a couple of weeks, I strangely started feeling as though I REALLY needed a drink, like every few days, and wasn't drinking nor was I experiencing any abnormal stress. One day I felt like I needed a drink and it was only noon, which is very odd for me. So, I thought I'd stop taking the tincture for a few days to see if the need for alcohol abated, and sure enough, I haven't wanted a drink since. SO, I'm returning this product, and leaving a review for anyone who is considering buying this and has susceptibility to alcoholism. Get the pills or something, maybe they work but I doubt I'll try them since I have lost trust in the company that makes this. Best of luck in your good health!Great product!
