Im one of them.

Curious Elixirs No.

No need to mix, muddle, shake, or stir.
I like that the flavor is intense (no watered-down drink here!)
and that all I have to do is pour it into a glass over ice to enjoy.

This deep amber brew contains just four simple ingredients: water, barley, hops, and yeast.
Its super crisp, with a warm spiced apple flavor and a subtle hint of cinnamon.
This is one of my winter go-tos.

This is my go-to for gifting right now, and always around Valentine’s Day, she says.
It’s fresh and fruit-forward.
She also highlights the gorgeous label and the NA wines Instagramability.

It’s fun to photograph in a glass if I’m being honest, she says.
This alcohol-removed wine is made from grapes from the Penedes region in Spain, known for its wines.
It has the perfect combination of floral and fruity flavors.

Trust me: Ive enjoyed quite a few bottles of this one myself, and it goes down easy!
Theyre not made with de-alcoholized wine.
Pink Salt is a unique twist on rose.

Verjus is made by pressing unripe wine grapes that have been harvested early in the growing season.
Bonus: Its completely alcohol-free if thats a concern for you.
I like to sip this NA sangria in a chilled glass and add chunks of fruit.

That includes NA beer.
Hoplark Citra is by far my favorite.
(Note that theres less than 0.5% ABV in this tequila alternative.)

Its formulated with natural flavors like agave and oak to replicate the taste of a reposado tequila.
Its got hints of oak and vanilla and a touch of spiciness too.
It has a vibrant lemony flavor and also contains South African buchu (blackcurrant).

There was no funky artificial aftertaste here.
It really tasted like something a bartender whipped up behind the bar.
French Bloom pairs ingredients like organic Chardonnay grapes with natural flavors to achieve a complex wine flavor with depth.

Each of the sparkling wines is made of dealcoholized chardonnay and pinot noir.
If youre a red wine enthusiast, then the brands alcohol-removed red blend is an excellent option.
Non-alcoholic beer still contains some alcohol, up to about 0.5% per the label.

One study found that some non-alcoholic beveragescontain more than they report on the label.
Non-alcoholic drinks may contain up to 0.5% ABV and still be labeled non-alcoholic.
Interestingly, one small study demonstrated thatnon-alcoholic beer could support electrolyte balanceif consumed pre-exercise, says Poon.

Thats not an excuse to skip the H20, though, when imbibing.
No matter what youre drinking, its best that water is your main source of hydration, says Poon.
I would still recommend drinking a lot of water in addition to NA beverages.

Non-alcoholic means less than 0.5% of alcohol, which is very little.
This percentage is found in alcohol-removed wines, some NA spirits, and occasionally, mocktails.
This small amount will not get you drunk or even buzzed, says Sheinbaum.

With that, the choice is really up to the consumer on what they are drinking.
Drinking non-alcoholic beer is better for you than drinking alcoholic beer every day, says Poon.
Still, that doesnt mean NA beer is exactly the most nutritious option.

Plus, even the small amount of alcohol found in NA beer could be problematic for certain populations.
