Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the effects of the probiotic BLa80 on the gut health of people who drink alcohol regularly. We want to find out if this probiotic can help improve the health of the digestive system in those who consume alcohol. The main questions we aim to answer are: Does BLa80 positively change the composition of gut bacteria in alcohol consumers? Participants in this study will: Be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive the probiotic BLa80, and the other group will receive a placebo (a substance with no active therapeutic effect). Take their assigned treatment for a specified period, as directed by the study protocol. Undergo regular health checks and provide feceal samples for analysis to see how their gut bacteria might have changed during the study. This study is important because it explores whether a specific type of probiotic can help protect or improve gut health in people who drink alcohol, potentially offering a new way to support digestive health.
