The 411 on Non-Alcoholic Alternatives:

 To feel satisfied and fulfilled, we must replace our vices and unhealthy habits with healthier alternatives. We start to feel restricted or come from a place of lack when we completely omit the habit. Just like vegan, sugar-free, and any other diet, the use of alternatives is what keeps us feeling included and satisfied. That is why options are key to a healthy booze-free journey. 

To fall into the non-alcoholic category, a beverage must contain .5% or less alcohol. Your body can't compound enough alcohol in your system, making it physically impossible to become inebriated by non-alcoholic substances. In fact, you will most likely get very sick and even pass away from water poisoning before you feel intoxicated. 

That being said, always check your intentions before partaking in non-alcoholic beverages of any kind. Remember, we love and care about you, and YOU are our priority! If you feel like these may be a gateway or a trigger, please be mindful.
