Alcohol-free drinks & options

Alcohol free beer, wine, and spirits are among the fastest growing markets in the beverage industry globally.

 

Just Google the search words ''zero alcohol'' or ''AF'' drinks - and prepare to be blown away. New accounts, options, manufacturers, marketers and influencers in this space are almost impossible to keep up with. They literally crop up by the dozen overnight.

 

While ''AF'' drinks can certainly be a good fit and option for some folks in some scenarios; please be aware that they're actually a massive potential trigger and danger-zone for others because of how accurately they replicate the look, taste, smell, and even the 5 o'clock 'ritual' of alcohol.

 

Also - please be aware that 'zero alcohol' drinks can have a small percentage of alcohol still present and still be legally marketed as ''0%.''

 

Neither us or anyone else can tell you what to do or what not to do, but we can absolutely confirm these drinks are linked to relapses for some people - and it's often those who are most vulnerable or not informed.

 

SO: we strongly suggest you proceed down this path with immense caution, do your own research and investigation and make an informed decision. We'd also suggest that if in doubt - avoid them completely and seek an alternative, such as sparkling water with lemon or lime.

​

A few of the many options available out in the market are listed below. We suggest you consider a product like ETCH Sparkling if you need a sparkling adult beverage that doesn't imitate alcohol.
