If you've quit drinking, what do you order at the bar when you go out for drinks with friends?
Here's a list that I've been crowdsourcing from Twitter. Feel free to print it out (or copy and paste it into your Notes app) so you never feel stuck with what to order.
Club soda with a splash of cranberry juice (very little sugar, easy to drink)
Club soda + lime
Club soda + Blackcurrant
Club soda + bitters and lime
Virgin Caesar's [Bloody Mary] (I order them spicy)
Kombucha (if they have it on tap)
Spirit-free cocktails
Iced tea
Arnold Palmer
A Roy Rogers (made with Coke and grenadine syrup, and topped with a maraschino cherry)
Seltzer with bitters
Coconut water
Non-alcoholic beer
Virgin Michelada
Virgin Mojito
Virgin Moscow Mule
Grapefruit-Schorle (it's not as sweet as Apfelschorle)
Cold brew nitro coffee
Oolong tea
0% beer
I quit drinking on January 1st, 2019.
I originally did it as a way of reaching a revenue goal for my business. But after we hit the goal, I kept going.
I just feel better. I'm sleeping better, I'm more alert during the day, and feel less moody. Another bonus: I'm saving a lot of money. (A typical "night out for drinks" used to cost me ~$50, but now generally costs me $20, including food!)
I hope this is helpful,
