I have given up drinking for 6 months. anyone got any sugestions for an "exciting" alternative to alchohol?!
Answers: orange juice all night gives you stomach ache, coke a sugar crash the next day and cordial is just a bit dull.
Spicy tomato juice with worcester sauce, V8, vegtable and fruit mixes. You make can make fruit cocktails like margarita, daiquiri, just leave out the alcohol. Also next time you go to the supermarket, check out non-alcoholic wines. There is a vast range of non- alcoholic adult drinks sold nowadays. I got one recently that tasted of elderflower wine but was no alcohol.
Water
tea?
or y not just have a beer and let ya hair down u sure r along time dead i sure wouldnt worry about what drink i should or shouldnt drink thats me tho now im off for a cigarette and some more beers
well dun tho it must be hard
an assortment of teas and mixing random juices and smoothies daily does the trick for me.
Drink yerba mate. Like coffee, but no crash.
Maison, for a wine alternative. Lemon Lime and Bitters, for other, it is lemon squash, dash lime, dash bitters. All can be purchased from Food store.
Red Bull or an energy drink
I like ginger beer a lot, but you might get the same sugar crash issues. Fruit smoothies would be good. Carrot juice is awesome in moderation. What about those V8 blends of juices. ...
Oh, crap ... Marie has it ... Lemon Lime and Bitters rules.
If at a bar, I'm a sucker for tonic water. I'm not sure if that's just a strange taste I've grown to love or what.
Exercise on a regular basis gives you a high and a feeling of well being join a gym instead of going to the pub.
Smoothies are fab and J2O is my favourite if I'm driving home from the pub. If you're on a night out, you could ask for a tea or coffee for a change. When we went on holiday to the Greek Islands, we used to go to a bar for a nightcap after a fairly early dinner with the kids; all the bars offered something called "Children's Cocktails" which were lovely combinations of fruitjuices and sodas, so you could try asking your bar tender to use their imagination and make you something interesting without the alcohol. At home I would go for fruity or herbal teas.
First off I commend you for giving up drinking for 6 months.
There is no single exciting drink that can replace the potentially many kinds of alcoholic drinks you enjoy. That being said, you need to find a variety of drinks that can be exciting. My best suggestion is to invest in a blender and come up with a few recipes for fruit and vegetable drinks. You can make like smoothies or milk shakes (using milk, ice cream, or yougert) and they really are pretty damn good (and healthy too).
For the more convieninet drink, there's always the various Arizona Green Teas which are really good. Also the entire line of Fuze fruit drinks (which can be found at virtually any 7-11, AM/PM, or WAWA). Both the Arizona drinks and Green Tea drinks are really good and come in a variety of flavors and they are actually good for you!
Hope this helps and enjoy!
Mocktails are the answer, there are so many recipes so you don't have to drink the same boring drink. Just google mocktail recipes and you will have plenty of ammo. If this is not your thing then there are non alcoholic choices like beer, wine, llb, all of which you can buy at the supermarket. Also congratulations for staying off alcohol and wanting to treat your body better.
you cud always get non alcohol drinks for a bit, that way you still have a little taste without the affects.
I agree with jinny gin!!
I drink cranberry and raspberry or cranberry and blueberry juice. It is great and has no adverse effects.
why just 6 months? i drink grape juice all the time. and milk.
Cold brew coffee? It perks you up, it is easy to make and coffee is well...romantic, don't you think so? Oh, Toddy has the best cold coffee around...
smoke weed and drink red bull. same effect as alcohol but no hangover. so i am told anyway......
