What do you drink instead of alcohol?

[Mammabear14]

Honestly.....when you Are really craving a lovely glass of whatever how do you replace it? I am generally a thirsty person which is part of the problem. There is only do much diet coke/sparkling water i can have!

Tonic water with ice and lemon.

Iced tea made with ginger and lemon teabags.

You can get alcohol free everything nowadays - beer, prosecco, wine.

I drink iced water with crushed mint.

Soda and lime
Alcohol free beer
Dandelion and burdock
Fruit tea, peppermint tea
Iced coffee

I like the elderflower cordial with sparkling water at home, I still put it in a wine glass.
Lately I’ve been just having a herbal tea or a low cal hot choc at night.

Pineapple and lemonade
Appletiser
Virgin cocktails

Bitter lemon

we like erdinger alcohol free stuff
and koperburg non alcoholic fruit cider which is sweet but ok
teas
water
tonic with lemon
ginger beer
pomegranate
m&s do some sparkling juice which are a good champagne alternative as they taste a bit deeper than normal fruit juice and they come in a fancy champagne bottle

A lot of its sweet to be honest. I cant stand alcohol free wines they give me a headache

I'm not an alcoholic but was just interested in this for trying to cut down drinking at those awful work functions.

I read somewhere that if you like wine part of it can be habit forming so drinking your non-alcoholic drink out of a wine glass can help.

Apple juice is good as it can pass for wine espcialy if a bit diluted with mineral water.

I managed to stop drinking wine by drinking sparkling water and 'adult' cordials out of a wine glass I still drink it out of a wine glasses at weekends so it feels like a treat. I'm 141 days off the wine now 😊

Elderflower cordial
Ice cubes and cucumber and watermelon
Topped with fizzy water 💦

Lime and soda
Tonic water
Alcohol free beer
Ginger beer
Alcohol free fizzy white wine is drinkable, sainsbury's is good, M&S much too sweet

Lime cordial and sparkling water, loads of ice and a fresh lime slice.

Co op do a nice non alcoholic white muscat ( have tried loads as currently pregnant)

I don’t drink beer but have discovered that I really like AF beers, they taste much nicer! Also love AF strawberry & lime cider on ice.

The AF wines mixed with sparkling or tonic water are great, much less sweet but still have the body / tasty of a wine spritzer.

Seedlip alcohol-free spirits are brilliant. Expensive, but not sweet, make a lovely 'gin' and tonic, sufficient 'bite' to make you feel like you're having a grown-up drink.

Becks Blue is a good AF beer.

Alcohol free lager, in a pint glass, topped up with lemonade! Tastes and looks like a real shandy! I swear I've even felt drunk after a few!!

Ginger ale with lime slices and ice

Water, fruit juices, water, coffee, more coffee, tea.

Fever Tree tonics have a grown up 'bite' to them

Bitburger Drive is a good alcohol free German larger and Small beer have a 1% dark larger. Can get both at majestic.

Aiming to do 30 days AF in September, wine is my big weakness. Apart from the Muscat at co-op, mentioned above, are there any other white wines (dry) people would recommend? X

Black currant and lemonade

Seedlip are good, and I noticed another AF “gin” in John Lewis the other day. AF beers are fine too. I prefer to avoid too many sweet drinks if I’m not drinking - too sticky.
