Sober curious are choosing to cut down on their alcohol consumption or are trying to completely abstain from alcoholic spirits. To cater to these shifting consumption patterns, alcohol-producing brands and bars have been striving enthusiastically to increase the options available for those who want to enjoy alcohol-free beverages in their local honky tonk.
The booze-free movement is being quickly normalised on social media which has played a huge role in promoting the idea that you can be thoughtful about your drinking and then decide whether you want to be a social drinker or turn completely sober.
Going alcohol-free means you have a higher command of yourself and can rid yourself of the constant pressure to drink and get buzzed every time you go looking for a good time. And while cocktails can be really mouth watering mixes, the sober curious trend has ensured that your mocktails are no less of a stunner.
Non-alcoholic cocktails are such complex mixes that include lots of different ingredients used to make really delicious and eclectic mixes, without spirits. They are often served in highball glasses or in martini or wine glasses to resemble an alcoholic mix but without any of its spirit content.
This means you can actually head to a party and enjoy a non-alcoholic beverage done up in style and still end up having fun! The sober curious movement is here to tell you that you can have a great time with or without booze.
So, the benefits of jumping on the ‘sober curious’ wagon are plenty. As the Cosmopolitan report suggests, it can have a tremendous impact on bettering mental health and reducing stress, while cutting down your overall calorie intake.
