What to drink when not drinking alcohol

[darkbright]

I've decided to have a week or two off the beer.

Any suggestions on different drinks to try when avoiding alcohol?

(I'm not a big tea drinker and already drink lots of water)

A virgin St Clements (fresh orange juice bitter lemon and ice) really refreshing

I like the idea of quite bitter drinks that will feel a bit like having a beer. I usually go for lime and soda.

A few drops of Angostura bitters in a glass of water might give you the bitterness you're looking for and is strangely nice. San Pellegrino Grapefruit is bitter and very tasty, as is their bitter orange flavour.

Alternatively, my dad swears by Bitburger drive, as it's the only alcohol free beer he can find which actually tastes like beer.

What does 'not drinking alchohol ' mean?

I think it's some kind of foreign language lol

I know. Had to google it myself. Apparently some people don't drink the stuff...crazy I know.

A nice cup of Darjeeling Tea.

On the odd occasion I'm not drinking beer (mainly cuz I've run out of stock) I drink coffee

But not 'instant' I hope, even in the many glamorous forms it now comes :sick:
Buy a good quality coffee maker, some decent ground coffee (Lavazzo Rosso is a good start point), and hopefully you will never drink 'instant' again.

A Virgin caesar. Can get clamato juice in sainsbury I believe. It's quite a savoury drink.

Same here, i only drink coffee in the morning as a kick start to the day, i prefer tea later in the day and at night.

I knew a girl once who never drank. Needless to say it didn't last long.

Horrible way to go that........

Dying of thirst

Bourru!

Made in 24 hours from Grape Juice and yeast, slightly fizzy, mildly alcoholic (less than 2%) and a superb low calorie drink!

I've heard that cold brewed coffee carbed with nitro is tasty. Not had it myself but I think Dunkin Donuts might be offering it now.

Water or tea..I used to drink a lot of coffee but a couple of years ago had a chest infection which knocked me bandy and although unrelated somehow afterwards I couldn't stomach coffee. .
Suppose you could get some ASDA smart price bitter...you'd need around 60 cans to feel like you've had a drink!

Cheers
