Want to usher in the New Year sober?
With 2024 approaching, many people look to make drastic lifestyle choices at the beginning of a new year such as abstaining from alcohol.
Cutting down on alcohol has many health benefits. However, many people struggle with the change.
Here is a list of beverages to substitute that favourite bottle of wine, beer or cider. The selection is also great for non-drinkers:
- Sparkling water is a great alternative to alcohol, especially if you are a fan of the bubbly.
- Soda water or tonic water with flavoured syrup or herbs.
- Spiced or regular apple juice.
- Water with lemon or mint.
- Pomegranate juice, which is rich in fruity flavour. Its flavour and aroma are similar to red wine and it can also be used in cooking.
- Ginger ale.
- Red or white grape juices are an excellent alternative to wine.
- Cranberry juice.
If you’re looking to still enjoy the social aspects of drinking, try mocktails.
These mixed non-alcoholic drinks are refreshing, delicious and there are numerous different combinations.
