Funny, because it irks me to no end to try and look up non-alcoholic drinks that arent sweet sodas for big babies and getting told I should make a "mocktail."

Frankly we ought to reorient the terms "drink" and "drinking" away from alcoholic shit.

You can get some pretty nice ginger beers that aren't very sweet, though I agree that it would be nice for there to be more non-alcoholic non-pop drink options. Sparkling water and a slice of lemon is my go-to in summer

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

frickin love a spicy ginger beer

Cock n Bull is pretty widely available iirc

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

My favorite is Bundaberg but it's Ozzie and hard to come by around here.

[–] a_little_red_rat@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Honestly, non-alcoholic beer has really gotten good over the last few years

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Kvass is rad. Ranges in taste from non-alcoholic beer to rye bread to a sweet roll.

thanks! its gonna take a while cause im gonna try every suggestion i got from here and rank them 1-10. i've liked all of the suggestions so far!

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Ive been mixing one part unsweetened tea with two parts strawberry lemonade with some chopped up strawberries or any berries added. Then I add ice and shake it up real good in a shaker and it comes out deliciously frothy.

More places should have Malta India. Its like if cornflakes was soda.

Is Kelly the wife-avoiding regular or the fed up alcohol enthusiast? thonk

I haven't had a single drink since last September, I honestly thought it would be harder to socialize with friends but it really isn't... dates are pretty much done for, though

?

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

these might be a good replacement, especially now that I have calories to spare from the alcohol I no longer drink

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

They're good, you should also try Date honey

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why can't you date now? I'm asking because I'm recently divorced and sober. It seems to me there's lots of people who don't drink now, especially 30s and up.

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not where I am, in my experience! I'm in my mid-30s and I've only had a single date in which there was no drinking, and that one went nowhere. I got ghosted by that date shortly thereafter, in fact lol

It's more of a me problem, to be honest... I'm just not good at this kind of stuff generally, and doing it stone cold sober doesn't make it any better at all. Hope things go better for you!

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah I see. Have you tried talking to dates about Hexbear?

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I'm not really looking for anything serious, and if I talk about Hexbear she will ask me to marry her on the spot, so no

Good point. I need to keep this in mind.

Last time I got laid we went to an Indian restaurant and didn't have any booze.

I drink tho lol.

"Some Millenial" looking old sadness

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The idea of a bar that only serves non alcoholic drinks is interesting. But really isn't that just a juice bar?

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I’ve been trying to understand where Kelly actually stands on issues. Some of the comics go hard unironically, but I can’t help but cringe still.

What are they trying to say here? Is it a shot at millennials or a shot at the boomers blaming millennials?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stan Kelly is a fictional artist who is meant to be a parody of a boomer, so the comic itself is meant to read as a boomer taking a shot at millennials, but is in reality a millennial taking a shot at boomers.

The actual author, Ward Sutton, is a Blue MAGA liberal, which is extremely disappointing..

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Aaaaah okay, yeah sometimes it seems a little too thick, like SNL thick. Which makes sense cuz he is an onion lib.

Thanks for the clarification.

[–] xj9@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

some day, we'll replace every bar in america with cooperative juice bars / weed dispensaries

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I basically only drink on new years eve or like weddings and I've had a fair share of virgin drinks but why get an overpriced mocktail instead of just a slurpee or one of those pre mix bottles?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Lady Liberty hitting the bottle hard lately.

I've been sober for almost 5 years and I don't miss it at all.
