I’ve always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It’s a disgusting narrative that ruins people’s lives.
On social media, there’s a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they’ve gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.
I appreciate that.
And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.
I like blended virgin raspberry margaritas on the sour side, and will generally order one if I see one on a menu.
Honestly, I should probably just figure out a recipe to make them myself, as they’re nice to slowly sip, and they’d be nice to have at home too. Never did get around to making one myself.
Sour mix is delicious. I feel like most places use stuff with as much high fructose corn syrup as soda though.
I started buying non-alcoholic drinks when I learned my Muslim friends don’t partake, and my wife and I wanted healthier alternatives.
Virgin margaritas are so good!
