Great social strategies

I was particularly impressed by the section on social strategies. It gave me concrete tips for navigating gatherings without feeling awkward or pressured to drink. I learned how to politely decline drinks, how to redirect conversations, and how to find other ways to connect with people.

What a Refreshing and Clever Book!

The audiobook, "Mocktails over Cocktails", is fantastic! It is set up in a way that is to really make you successful in taking time off from drinking, while still enjoying flavorful drinks. While I do not always do dry January or October, I do this exercise for Lent each year, and what a wonderful time to have just finished the book!
The items you need to have on hand, the different sorts of fruits and spices are well thought out. In the past, I would just replace with hot tea, and this is a lot more fun.
It never occurred to me the financial benefits of altering your lifestyle, and how much money you or us as a couple could save. A club soda with a lime at a restaurant is definitely easier on the wallet!
The narrator is great, and I highly recommend this book for everyone!
