Dry January a wellspring for booze-free beverages

Booze is out and “sober curiosity” is in as people around the world participate in Dry January and voluntarily abstain from alcohol for the month.

Whether it’s for a New Year’s resolution or for health reasons, Americans have jumped aboard the Dry January bandwagon, which originated in Britain.

“What a better time than right after the holidays, which is traditionally a very boozy time of year for people, to sort of have a reset,” said Laura Silverman, a Rockville, Maryland, resident who launched BoozeFreeInDC.com and has led a sober lifestyle for 12 years.

I have been drinking alcohol removed (0.05 percent alcohol) wine and beer for about 18 years now. I always felt arkward when ordering so you can imagine how I feel now about non-alcohol drinks being popular. They say you save money by not drinking regular alcohol but that is not true. A bottle of decent non- alhocol wine cost the same if not more than regular wine. Same is true for beer. The process to reduce alcohol in liquor is expensive. One draw back for establishments - with regular alcohol you drink more than non-alcohol. Cheers! 😁

To reduce the alcohol content just add water, nothing expensive about that
