Sunnyside is a San Francisco-based digital health company (formerly Cutback Coach) that helps people drink less without necessarily quitting. It pairs a habit-tracking app with SMS-based human coaching, a peer community, and - via Sunnyside Med - optional telehealth prescriptions of naltrexone. Members report cutting weekly alcohol consumption by roughly a third, and the company says it has helped 600,000+ people avoid more than 24 million drinks.
