What can I drink in place of booze?

[jellico]

Hi there. I'm wondering if anyone has found a vaguely thrilling drink - the kind that sets that buzzer of excitement off in your head - in place of alcohol? I'm drinking an awful lot of herbal tea and chai lattes, but surely there's SOMETHING out there more 'exciting'. I guess espressos... and dealcoholised red wine is great when I'm at home. I'm sick of drinking 'kids' drinks' when I'm out socialising though.

Other than the Virgin Mary, any recommendations?

Hi Zum, thanks for the welcome.

Anything fizzy is definitely in the kids' drink category for me! Ah, it's a toughie!

Hi,
I have found the most fantastic non alcoholic wine range. It is called Edenvale. There is a Shiraz, Chardonnay and Champagne. My local pub and restaurants let me byo as its non alcoholic and its great.

Jellico -- try sparkling water with a splash of cranberry juice and a twist of lime. It's good!

The alc free drinks are great for what they are, and im sure they help alot of people. For me, I drank to get wasted, not because I particuarly enjoyed the taste. Would I drink 10 pints of strong pinapple juice and lemonade one after another because I enjoyed the taste? Probably not! Ginger beer is good and orange juice and lemonade. I find a big glass of smoothie is good in the morning too!
Whatever works, I wish you all the best on your journey.

New Drink

I like to mix up some V8 with horse radish and then I cut up some celery and stick it in and use it as a stir until I'm finished and then I eat it - yummy and full of vitamins and antioxidants. I'm trying to get my five servings of fruits and veggies every day by using juices.

I like the flavored seltzers, Polar brand I think is best. They are fizzy and fruity but not sweet.
