What are they like? Are they worth it?

Curious. But they are quite pricey to buy on a whim.

Thanks!

I bought some in Sainsbury's. They tasted really good, a bit like a gin and tonic, not particularly sweet. But after drinking two of them I was completely stoned, so you don't need many!

Tried one, couldn't even get a third the way through the little can. Tasted foul.

BrassicaBabe · 10/07/2023 10:39

Thank you!

Anyone else from the weekday crowd?

Trip has 15mgs, nice a hour before bed, the basil one tastes like grass though. For a hellish day goodrays is 30 mgs. You will even feel better the next day, I wish I had known about them sooner, much better than reaching for a glass of wine on one of those days.

I bought a four pack of the pink one, had a couple, did nothing but I’m struggling to sleep at the moment so will try the hour before bed tip.

It's weird....I don't think twice about grabbing a glass of wine if I'm stressed. But these drinks feel weird 🤣

Then again, I'm hoping that maybe these can be a nice substitute for grabbing a glass of wine 🤷‍♀️

I’ve started buying them as part of my meal deal from the Co-op and saving them up for the weekend. Tryp has 15mgs. The peach and ginger one tastes really nice. They don’t get me stoned it’s more a calm feeling/ relaxed but without the munchies. 27 calories a can.

Had some Parachute brand ones, taste quite nice - not too sweet, but get nothing off them at all. But then I seem to not get anything of anything (apart from alcohol) so I'm probably not the right person to ask

I love the ginger and peach one. I drink them instead of alcohol if I'm driving. I order them from Trip in packs of 24 and have had discount codes which make them cheaper still. They feel like a G&T if you pour them over ice. Very refreshing too.

It's a strange one, I ration these out as they are an expensive treat, I wonder why I can't exert the same over the Saturday night bottle of wine...😂

Jemimapuddleduk · 10/07/2023 11:13

I love them. My favourite is the trip elderflower and mint. They are a good alternative to wine or gin and taste great over ice. I’ve never felt stoned off them.

BrassicaBabe · 10/07/2023 11:34

@Badbudgeter your coop is more progressive than mine 🤣

Ooh, I wonder what they are like with gin 🤣

Love them. Think the max you're supposed to have per day is 45 or 60pmg I forget.

Goodrays says 30mg but I felt a better "buzz" from the Trip which says 15mg (but premium apparently).

Perfect replacement to a wine at night, 1 or 2 as a treat. They retail approx £6.50 for 4 cans so not too much, certainly cheaper or at least equivalent to a wine. And at least you don't have to open a whole bottle.

Hilfe · 10/07/2023 11:50

Can I ask a stupid question?would they show up on a drugs test at work?

BrassicaBabe · 13/07/2023 09:24

Well Trip was a waste of time/money. Even two. So I guess the Goodrays ones at 30mg won't make a difference. What am I missing?!!
