Any good alcohol alternative drinks? Most brands are very pricey. Not even sure they are worth it?

Hi, trying to get sober again. Going through a divorce and got back to drinking because it’s been tough. I want to find some alcohol alternative drinks. A lot on the market seem to be pretty pricey (aka $30 for a 6 pack). I’m not even sure if they would be worth it.

Any info would be appreciated!

Personally, I replaced my budweiser for Penns best NA. There are a lot more low & no alcohol drinks out there. Yes some are expensive some nit so much. Hope this helps, it is a journey worth taking in my opinion.

Athletic isn’t cheap but I would say affordable…they make quality NA beers. And the online shop better Rhodes has tons of brands to browse from.

I don't recommend anything that claims to be alcohol free because truth be known they're not entirely alcohol free.

If you want to be alcohol free then I highly recommend good old fashioned water, soda pop, tomatoe juice, grape juice etc.
Beer is an acquired taste. Remove the alcohol and it doesn't leave much to desire.
I would stay away from all those fancy alcohol free mocktails.

When we go that route it tends to tease us and one day when we are in the right frame of mind and have had enough, we decide that we want the real thing.

I've been there and I've tried that and trust me when I tell you it's like playing too close to the fire. Many people can testify to this too.

When we 1st give up alcohol we tend to want to continue hanging around with people that are still drinking alcohol and we want to keep it a secret that we're not really drinking alcoholic beverages. We want to give the appearance that we are still drinking.

I don't hang around with people that drink alcohol and I don't go into places where they serve alcohol unless I have a legitimate reason for being there. To have a good time does not qualify as a legitimate reason.

Just my view. That and $3 will buy you a cup of coffee.

I drink so much flavored seltzer. I love flavored seltzer. I have a problem with flavored seltzer and it has absolutely no negative consequences.

I like sparkling water and ice tea to relax since I've stopped drinking.
