At Positive Drinks Co, we're all about giving you choice. That's why we're not that enamoured with Stoptober, this annual thing where people try to stop drinking alcohol for the whole month of October.
Stoptober makes it seem like you have to choose either/or. Either you drink alcohol, or you don’t. But why not just drink when you want and have something non-alcoholic when you don't? We spent the weekend with friends and everyone had a non-alc beer at some point, all for different reasons. It was the best!
As huge fans of non-alcoholic drinks (go figure), we think they should be celebrated all year round, not just during Stoptober. There are so many amazing non-alcoholic drinks out there, from sparkling wines to flavourful craft beers and apertivos. They're perfect for any occasion, whether you're having a chill night in or a wild night out. Or whatever the one in the middle could be... A moderately wild night partly in and partly out? Something like that.
Don’t get us wrong, Stoptober is well-intentioned but it does sort of make it seem like non-alcoholic drinks are only for a certain time of year or for people who are giving up alcohol completely. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy non-alcoholic drinks, no matter what their drinking habits are or what time of year it is. We mentioned we’re about positive choice, right?
So, let's raise a glass to choice, moderation, and enjoying delicious non-alcoholic drinks all year long. Cheers to celebrating the world of non-alc, not just during Stoptober!
