Starting 2024 off sober is gaining traction, it aligns with the dry January trend, where individuals abstain from alcohol after the holidays.
Here in the Maritimes, there is a plethora of non-alcoholic beer options which is helping fuel a rise of sober drink choices.
David Finlayson, founder of Resolution Revelry, a dry January party, says there's no shortage of non-alcoholic drinks options out there for the sober-curious.
“I'm certainly not here to say drink or don't drink, but there's a bunch of different options out there that probably taste just as good or as the alcoholic version," said Finlayson.
Resolution Revelry is a tasting event that will feature dozens of non-alcoholic beer, cider, wine, and cocktail options.
It's a fundraiser for the United Way said Finlayson, but it's also a great opportunity for someone who might be thinking about non-alcoholic drink alternatives.
"If you have any thoughts like, 'Hey I want to change my lifestyle a little bit, and maybe I want to try a little time away from alcoholic beverages,’ then I think this a great way to find out," said Finlayson.
