If you don't drink alcohol what do you drink

[churrosconchoc]

I've given up drinking alcohol.. was never much of a drinker but I do like the taste of wine, spirits etc. it really effects my sleep now. I don't like sweet drinks (coke or OJ) what do you drink when out ?

Ive never liked alcohol.
I drink alsorts coffee water milkshake coke apple and mint juice lemon juice.

If I am driving, I have a lime and soda water. Coke and other fizzy drinks make me really unwell.

Tonic with ice and lime or Guinness zero, or tea if they have it 😂🍻

I tend to order an orange juice and lemonade.

Lime & soda is my go-to when out. Also alcohol-free lagers can be very nice nowadays!

I have mocktails they are so tasty.

Fizzy water
Ginger ale
Plain tap water with meals, boring I know!

I do a cheeky thing too, I get fizzy water when out, and I bring along one of these in my bag and discreetly add to the glass. Lots of different flavours to choose from.

At home at say a BBQ in Summer etc. I absolutely love Lyre's non alcoholic Italian Spritz. It's a dupe of Aperol. There are many other different types available e.g. /gin/whisky etc. although I don't like those as never drank them. This one is different and not sweet. Although I never drank Aperol, this is one of the best non alc drinks I've tasted, but it's just my preference!

Mocktails, Appetiser or zero Peroni. Dh loves alcohol free Guinness.

Thatcher's Zero cider
Cloudy lemonade
San Pelligrino Orange or Blood Orange

Some mocktails are nice if they aren't full of fruit juice, some work with botanicals/gin replacement and are a good alternative.

Sparkling water with lemon or some cloudy apple juice

DH loves Guiness Zero or Lucky Saint, mainly the orange one.

Guinness Zero is my preferred option. At home we've recently been having Mother Root, a ginger drink that's lovely with hot water or sparkling.

Bitter lemon when I can get it
Elderflower.
Shloer type drinks are great

Iced tea

I've been drinking kombucha at home doesn't seem to be sold when I go out! Also like elderflower and soda water

Thanks for all the replies. I drink plain water at home but plus coffee, tea. Never tried an non alcoholic beer

Had to give up alcohol a few months ago 🙁. I never, ever, liked the drink Prosecco, so I was surprised when I was given some 'No-secco' (alcohol free Prosecco) to find it lovely! Also enjoy sparkling elderflower presse and most of the Cawdons range.

Lime and soda if I'm out, or cappuccino, macchiato, depending.
There are so so many flavours of soda water here to choose from, so I like to switch that up when I'm home and am thirsty and keeping it light.
I'm also ( forcing myself) to drink a couple of glasses of milk per day; to get more calcium and after having milk, I don't feel like having anything else 😝

I like the taste of alcohol and there are some great substitutes now. Becks blue is the best lager 0% and I've tried most of them. The big drop do an amazing alcohol free IPA. I like Sanbitters which is similar to campari. Other than that I'll drink lime sodas when out.

I'm teetotal as is dh and ds.
When out, I drink :

Soda and lime
Tonic water
Lemonade
J20's
Mocktails
Tea

In the house, I might have an Alcohol free wine or af rum. Dh and ds enjoy af beer /lager at home and when out.

Tomato juice eg Spicy Tom 🤣
Herbal tea
Soda water with lemon slice

Will look that up

Ginger beer (best 'homemade' with ginger cordial and sparkling water). Add fresh lime and it's even better.
Guinness zero
No alcohol lager (Heineken, Lucky Saint, Erdinger)
Lime and mint cordial with sparkling water and crushed ice (or lime cordial and frag mint leaves)
Non alcoholic wine - only the sparkling ones though (Freixenet is one of the better ones)

Thanks for those tips.. will try

Ginger beer
Koppenburg 0 (mixed fruit flavour)
Fizzy rhubarb - my favourite.

Tonic water with ice and lemon is my go to when not drinking on a night out.

AF gin and tonic is nice as well!

Water, coffee, tea.

If it's a hot day, I sometimes will have a chilled apple juice or (rarely) a Coke.

I'm not one for pubs and bars, though, so it's not really an issue.
