Learned a new term today: “sober curious.” I quit drinking 5 years ago, and never looked back. I wouldn’t mind some more variety for non-alcoholic drinks, especially those without sugar. Can’t have pop too often because it’s just sugar. Kombucha reminds me of beer so I avoid it. Fruit juices are full of sugar too. So it’s usually down to tea, coffee or water for me.
lol that sounds like vocabulary only an alcoholic would invent.
“I’ve heard of being sober, but I’m to afraid to try it right now.”
As long as there’s no added sugar, the fruit juices should be fine. Not all sugars are equal, and fructose is a long chain sugar so it’s more like a fuse then the dynamite (glucose).
Uh… what? This is a fructose molecule
I was trying to escape beer to save money, but at $2 a can non-alcoholic is even more expensive despite seemingly less taxes needing to be paid.
My initial assumption was that it’s because it’s newer,
so they need to make up that r&d cost(edit: I get why this is silly now). Once there is a lot more competition for it, the prices should come down. Similar to how some plant based meats / milks or gluten-free products became more accessible once general people started buying them instead of a tiny group that could be exploited more easily.I’m just hoping for fewer drunk driving accidents and reduced health issues
Oh boy you are painfully optimistic about capitalism
Let us not forget, 1 trillion types of non alcoholic drinks already exist.
People don’t event know when they a being marketed.
