I change the message and behaviour about alcohol in my family and company.
It can be small changes like, renaming event from "Beer afterwork" to "Gettogether", offering water before any other drink etc. Slowly removing the social pressure and availability.
- wildrhythms 4y agoSo many of my older coworkers only seem to want to drink. Every outing is to a bar or pub of some sort. I do not drink at all, and often feel excluded. Constant questions and pressures "Why aren't you drinking? Just have one..." Even in the office there are mini bars scattered about. The culture needs to change.
- aerojoe23 4y agoI wonder if there could be a stand in beverage for crap like this. With the right color and frothy bubbles. Idk sparkling apple juice?
- piyh 4y agoLiquid Death is going for that niche
- jonathanlydall 4y agoI quite enjoy Heineken Zero, doesn’t taste exactly like normal Heineken, but definitely tastes like a lager and has <0.05% alcohol. Sometime in my 30s I found that alcohol (even just a couple of beers) can make me feel really fatigued the next day, so I drink it quite rarely these days.
- obloid 4y agoSo far the only NA beers I have found that taste like real beer are from Athletic Brewing. I avoid alcohol but also really like the taste of beer, so I'm loving the Athletic beers. I highly recommend them.
- amanaplanacanal 4y agoMy girlfriend has been drinking NOMO from crux fermentation project as a lower carb alternative.
- _alex_ 4y agoClub soda with a lime is a good way to go
- Spivak 4y agoOr just non-alcoholic beer. That’s like half it’s purpose. Or you could drink Liquid Death, legit really good water and a meme.
- noirbot 4y agoThere's been a ton of innovation in that space recently, and I'm seeing a lot of bars and breweries starting to carry N/A options now. Athletic Brewing is doing a lot of stuff in the US that I see around. There's also a lot of places making Hop Water that's essentially house sparkling flavored water that's really nice.
- nilespotter 4y agoShout out to Lagunitas Hop Water. Also Trader Joe's just started carrying it.
- paganel 4y agoAlso, unironically, r/HydroHomies, it has been my drink of choice in social settings for a few years now. That and coffee.
- Steven420 4y agoShirley Temples and Rob Roys
- maccard 4y agoAlcohol free beers are in every bar I go to. Sparkling water with lemon will pass as a gin and tonic in most too!
- boppo1 4y agoI've seen some products like this advertised. Seedlip, for one. It's okay, not great. I'd rather drink tonic with an lot of bitters tbh.
- EricDeb 4y agoI for one don't mind if alcohol is available at work events but I agree no one should be pressured to participate
- DanCarvajal 4y agoI have a coworker who I've worked with for 9 years of which the entirety I've been sober, he offers me a beer multiple times a year.
