309: Safe, Sober, & Inclusive: How Zero-Proof Bev Are Changing the F&B Industry

What a month it's been! As Women's HERStory Month comes to a close, I couldn't think of a better way to wrap it up than with a conversation that's redefining inclusivity in food and beverage. Laura Silverman, founder of Zero Proof Nation and Booze Free in DC, is leading the charge in the non-alcoholic beverage movement, proving that choice and inclusion belong at every table. With 17+ years of sobriety, Laura's journey is deeply personal. After struggling with binge drinking in college and getting sober at 24, she saw firsthand how limited and uninspiring the non-alcoholic beverage landscape was. So, she built the resource she wished existed—a global hub connecting people with alcohol-free options, community, and education. 💡 As a thought leader in the adult non-alcoholic beverage movement, Laura isn't here to vilify alcohol—she's here to empower choice. Whether you're taking a night off, redefining your relationship with drinking, or just looking for something beyond soda and seltzer, her work ensures safe, equitable, and innovative beverage options for all. 🔥 From launching a global map of NA-friendly establishments to judging the World Alcohol Free Awards, Laura has been instrumental in bringing non-alcoholic drinking culture to the forefront. She's making sure everyone—whether sober, sober-curious, or simply exploring mindful alternatives—has a seat at the table. 🎙️ Join me LIVE for this final Women's HERStory Month episode as we dive into: ✅ The rise of mindful drinking and its impact on the F&B industry ✅ How event planners can create more inclusive beverage experiences ✅ The power of community and education in reshaping drinking culture 📅 Let's raise a zero-proof toast to all the incredible women making HERstory in food and beverage.
