We suggest recovering alcoholics consult with their doctor and/or sponsor regarding how kombucha could affect their recovery. We have connected with people in recovery who enjoy both the taste and benefits of Humm Kombucha, and also received feedback from those who choose to steer clear due to personal concerns and experience. It is certainly a decision that should not be taken lightly. We clearly state on our labels that Humm “contains a trace amount of alcohol” to notify recovering alcoholics, those with strict religious beliefs, or people who have allergy concerns.
