    Alcohol Free Breweries Making Waves in the U.S

    The Soberists is based in the UK but if we know one thing, it’s that US and UK cultures have a sibling-based bond. What happens here can usually be seen over there and vice versa. Sometimes the US comes up with cool stuff we see and think, ‘hey! We want a piece of that!’ and sometimes things happen here in the UK and the US follow swiftly behind. Breweries creating purely alcohol free beer are really starting to take off here in Britain so we thought we’d have a peek at what the US is up to in this sphere. A lot of these breweries are still small and they’re…

    Getting Rid of the Shame Around Sobriety: Tedx Talk

    Sobriety is a difficult subject for many of us because it’s clouded in shame. Our society not only condones alcohol use, it often seems to actively encourage it. It’s hard to go a day without seeing some kind of marketing for alcohol and shops and supermarkets are littered with it. From discounts on beer and wine in mammoth amounts to birthday cards, water bottles and tote bags all singing the praises of gin and Prosecco, it’s impossible to avoid. And as Clare Pooley points out in her Tedx Talk below, those who give up alcohol are not treated with the same support and congratulations as those who give up smoking.…

    Top 3 Books About Alcohol and Sobriety

    I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for a book. If I want to learn something new, find out about something or just have a fleeting interest, it’s still books that I turn to. With sobriety, there’s something about the stories of others that are so visceral and honest that an online article just doesn’t cut it. So here’s a round-up of the best books about alcohol and sobriety that I’ve read and loved. The Outrun – Amy Liptrot This heartbreaking memoir through recovery from alcoholism is tightly woven with nature writing to make it one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. Brutally honest about her…

    Non-Alcoholic Summer Drinks: Ideas without the Hangovers

    When you give up alcohol or simply want to seriously cut down, long gone are those bleary afternoons with too many Pimms and a headache by dinner time. But you don’t have to turn up to BBQs empty handed and on the fizzy drinks, here’s a list of non-alcoholic summer drinks that are refreshing but do away with the hangover. Take a look at your options Alcohol is such a huge part of the British socialising scene that when you give up, you might feel like your only options are J2O, sugary drinks or…well…water. Or worse, you might think you can’t go to summer social events at all. But why? There’s…

    Giving Up Alcohol and Saving Money: The Financial Cost of Alcohol

    I don’t think anyone’s under the illusion that alcohol is cheap here in the UK. It’s heavily taxed and a night out can cost anything from a fiver if you stick to one, to hundreds if things start escalating. And haven’t we all gone out for just one only to wake up the next day and blearily recall that we were exceeding generous with our money? Wait…did I really spend £30 on shots? I don’t even like shots! And what was that 2am fast food I ate? There’s a wrapper here somewhere…oh god, there’s another £10. And that’s just the night out. What about the morning after?When you spend the weekend…

    ‘Never Again’ Inspiration: Hangover’s Cost Money

    Of course we all know that a night out on the lash hits our wallets hard. And we might roll our eyes at the increasing cost of wine in the supermarket. But alcohol is so normalised, so encouraged in our society that it’s actually counted in the calculations for the Living Wage. Is that…right? Does that not just help us justify our dangerous reliance upon it? However you see it, alcohol and financial health are inextricably linked. And not in a positive way (unless you’re a corporation selling alcohol…!) When we drink out, our inhibitions start fading away. Those inhibitions that not only stop you from holding your tongue but also from…
