Best alternative to a glass of wine to end the day?

My mom comes home from her stressful work and just wants to shut off her brain and relax. So she grabs a cup (but ends up being much more) of wine and relaxes. Shes realizing the negative effects its having on her life mainly the weight gain, and she wants to stop this habit.
I suggested Kava, but im wondering what you would all recommend she try?
On a side note, does anyone have any experience with Tru Kava and how it compares to NDs Kava?

I'd personally recommend against regular Kava use given the sustained reports of negative liver effects.
Also it makes consistently gives me mild dizziness / vertigo that alcohol does not.

The liver issues with kava are limited to flavokawain A and B, which is why we only sell kava that we test to ensure it doesn't contain them. I know many people say our kava is expensive, but that's because most kava on the market is trash quality from a safety perspective. None of these kava vendors are doing proper lab testing or have good quality control, because it is complex and expensive. We've actually tested high heavy metals and microbes in many kava products on the market, in addition to the flavokawains. So yes, be careful with most kava on the market. However, that doesn't mean kava itself is bad. You just need to have a product from a company that does proper testing.
