Tell me about the people in your life that dont drink alcohol

Well, I'm an alcoholic but now sober. If that counts 🤣

Dh and I have been sober for nearly three years. My sister is teetotal as well. I know loads of people socially now who don’t drink. It’s awesome.

Me - I’m just a really fussy drinker. I don’t like beer of any kind, brown spirits, gin, red wine unless it’s a Fleurie, Coke or Pepsi, tea, coffee, Red Bull, milk, fruit teas, fizzy water, or hot chocolate.

I only really drink tap water, Vimto or champagne. Maybe a glass of white wine if it’s very dry and light, or a vodka lime and soda. I don’t drink at home, and my social life these days consists of hikes, and walks around gardens. If I go anywhere else I have to drive as nobody lives near me and I live in a public transport wasteland, so it’s lemonade or Fanta.

Me and DH. Both used to, both gave up for health reasons - DH gave up about 2 years ago, and I gave up about a year ago. I miss it sometimes, but I don't miss the hangovers and I am definitely more active now at weekends when I am not feeling sluggish from Friday night wine.

I drink mostly herbal tea during the day, and diet fruit drinks at night. I know 'diet' drinks get a bad press here but I wouldn't want to replace the sugar in alcohol with sugar in something else.

I don't drink at all and my husband rarely does too. My older teens aren't into going out and getting drunk either. They have definitely had drinks and been drunk but it's certainly not a regular thing as it was when I was the same age as them. Alcohol has definitely played a tricky role in my life but my life is jow so much better without it. No hangovers, more energy, better sleep, early morning enjoyment - going to the gym or walks etc.... I love my alcohol free life.

I enjoy coffee and teas as well as the odd glass of AF nosecco or white wine from time to time.

I don't. I do like milk shakes in the Summer. Coffee ,dandelion and burdock no sugar. Diet coke.
