Non-Alcoholic Drinks: The Pros and Cons (Rebroadcast)
from Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober · host Gillian Tietz, MS, CPRC
Non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails are very popular, but are they good for your sobriety? In this episode I’ll explain both sides of the argument- how they can be helpful for your sobriety and how they can be triggering, cause cravings, or hold you back. You’ll learn if 0.5% non-alcoholic drinks are okay to drink and why you may get the feeling of a fake buzz when you consume alcohol-free drinks.
