Understand Your Alcohol Response from the Inside Out

The Alcohol Sensitivity & Addiction Reports helps you uncover how your genes affect your tolerance, detoxification, risk of addiction, and how alcohol may influence your mental and physical health. With personalized insights and recommendations, you can make smarter choices that align with your biology.

Alcohol Sensitivity: Learn whether you're more likely to experience side effects from small amounts of alcohol, such as flushing, nausea, or headaches
Addiction Risk: Understand your genetic predisposition to alcohol dependence and what steps you can take to reduce your risk
Liver Function: Explore how your genes influence alcohol detoxification through key enzymes like ADH1B and ALDH2
Mental Health and Cravings: See how alcohol may impact your mood, sleep, and motivation based on your genetic variants

Why Take an Alcohol DNA Test?

Alcohol impacts much more than your short-term energy or mood. It affects your brain, liver, hormones, and long-term health. But the way it affects you is highly individual.

Spot Genetic Red Flags Early

Uncover hidden alcohol sensitivity so you can avoid symptoms like headaches, flushing, and hangovers before they start.

Reduce Your Risk of Addiction

If your genes show elevated addiction risk, early action can make a big difference. Use this insight to guide your habits and lifestyle choices.

Support Long-Term Liver and Brain Health

Genetic detox variations can make alcohol more harmful. Knowing your risk helps you protect your liver, brain, and mental health.
