FYI it doesn't have to be booze

A fancy pricey non-alc bev you would never drop money on works too

An obscenely expensive chocolate

A full lobster dinner!

Had some pretty good NA brews this weekend! Not pictured: the BERO Hazy IPA I'm drinking now.

Heh!😅 Bought some low (one 2,8 % alc. vol.) and non alc. drinks and got carded, I guess the outfit or poofy kiddo owl pamp underneath snowoveralls might have given younger impression!👶

With my friends who do not like alcohol (which is not the same as having an issue or a religious prohibition) I always want to get them to try non-alc beer to see if they like that anymore. But that's as far as I go.

Such a lovely bunch of people to spend time with at a holiday party. Thank you to @tonihaastrup.bsky.social for helping me to showcase the fancy vegan treats on offer, as one must. Cheers also to a party with non-alc options aplenty. 🥂

and since we're on welbutrin we're gonna cut booze out of our diet too so,....

going out should be cheaper (but non-alc versions are oftentimes just as, if not more, expensive than their boozy counterparts

I am not sober or even “soberish” but I don’t drink a lot and I do enjoy a fancy non-alcoholic alternative and in my opinion non-alc drinks are like vegetarian food in that the best options aren’t trying to directly imitate alcohol (or meat) but just provide an interesting alternative.

Dracula put my favorite towel in the warmer & he made me a Gin-ish (non-Alc) & tonic. He brought me delicious goat cheese w/cranberries that is so creamy & tart. I’m listening to Florence + The Machine w/my tits sunk down deep in a scalding bath. The autumn sun is lighting up the last leaves. 🖤

I have a can of non-alc “Aperol” spritz in the vague hope that I might still be motivated to do something that requires concentration this evening. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I appreciate that they can make great crafts, and also that I don't need more stuff around! I've been surprised at the lack of consumables. Today's fair had two baked goods, one non alc, one preserves, one hot sauce and one coffee beans. I just want all food and beverage I think haha

My line up of the unusual suspects, 3 of my best picks for quality non alcoholic free beer.
I ran 6.5 miles in sub zero temps to pick them up 😅
If you're going #sober for the end of the year then I can highly recommend these as your substitute starter pack.

Gotcha! Coffee is my choice, these days, too, though I do have non-alc options for both drinks. The mimosas I switch champaign with sparkling water and the Marys it's a cucumber infused water that I use.

Some recent nightlife sightings in the Valley:

- Happy Hour Punch at Broken Compass

- The amazing non-alcoholic cocktail list at @theroguelike.bsky.social (I got the Boom-Boom)...

Non alc today as I have to drive 2 muppets home later.

Nice to see the station hall has reopened at the National Railway Museum though!

I have a spare bottle of non-alc if It Happens like, tomorrow, and I will drive it to you

North Americans scrambling to make tasty non-alc drinks when Italy already has it figured it out.

I made an impulse purchase of some (slightly disappointing) olives & the only suitable drink I have to pair with them is Italian non-alc beer. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

First (text) version of an updated Cosmoboard Farming (DOH EX+ only) which allows you to stay in one place and keep farming through the 70 minute window rotating on 3 specialists.

Unfortunately there is a *short* downtime because the timers don't allow concurrent specialist triples. #FFXIV.

J'aimerais bien mais je pense pas, non.. je vais déjà voir Primo et Alc le 24. Compliqué de tous les voir

Oh my life...
Was invited to Conestoga College's Callebault Chocolate and Pastry Demonstration. It's for kitchen professionals, but I learned so much! And tasted so much, too. Afterwards, the culinary students put on a tasty reception buffet.
