Music blasted from somewhere down the road, loud enough to drown out the driver’s constant honking as he tried to squeeze past people dancing in the middle of the street.

When I first stopped drinking almost two years ago, I didn’t realize how limited the options were for people like me: those who want their fair share of fun drinks once in a while, without the alcohol. I personally found several soft drinks that satisfied the urge. Kombucha (specifically GT's Synergy Guava Goddess flavor), Churchill and cappuccino became my go-to drinks whenever I went out to hang out with friends.
