5 Alcohol-free summer party tips
Just because you’re skipping the bevvies this summer doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun. Whether you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or just taking a break from alcohol, you can still see all your friends and family and create memories this summer.
- Have fun with mocktails
Mix up some delicious mocktails with fresh fruit, herbs, and sparkling water. Try combos like watermelon and mint, or strawberry and lime. Not only are these drinks refreshing, but they’re packed with vitamins, which is perfect for if your growing a baby or feeding one! - BYO
Arriving with a bottle of your go-to non-alcoholic drink ensures you’re not left sipping plain water all night. Whether it’s a fancy soda, kombucha, or a special iced tea, having something you enjoy helps you feel part of the celebration. - Shift your focus
Dive into the snacks, join in the games, or get on the dance floor! Focusing on the experience rather than what's in your glass makes for a more enjoyable time. Plus, laughter and movement release endorphins, boosting your mood naturally. And the bonus? No hangover in the morning. - Connect
Chances are, you’re not the only one skipping the alcohol. Seek out others who are also alcohol-free, and enjoy the party together. Sharing experiences helps you feel supported and less alone.
- Confidence is key
If anyone asks why you’re not drinking, you don’t owe an explanation. A simple "I’m good with this drink, thanks!" is enough. Holding your mocktail with confidence shows you’re comfortable and happy with your choice.
