Some interesting trends here that I wasn’t aware of. Eg: “Alcohol consumption in Ireland is now less than the United Kingdom and most other European countries, including Spain, France, and Germany.”
After years of not bothering with alcohol I tried some of the alcohol-free versions of those drinks and the difference was negligible but the next morning was a lot more pleasant.
The original article title is “Off-license consumption fuelling rise in non-alcoholic drinks as demand for 0.0% alternative sees post-pandemic surge”, but I took an interesting quote from the article for the title of this post.
I don’t always drink 0.0 (I have cut down on beer in general) but it’s been really handy to have more options.
