I really like Proteau, but it is pricey.

I also like kombucha (though I'm picky about brands) and green tea. The looseleaf kind in an infuser. Feels luxurious

I was about to suggest San Pellegrino sparkling water -- various flavors. I love the skinny little cans.

I think this stuff tastes good: https://get.drinksurely.com/p/gpm10?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=18032058393&utm_content=&utm_term=&gadid=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyP-Pi77H-gIVja7ICh13ZgBzEAAYASAAEgIj9PD_BwE

It doesn’t have the “bite” of alcohol, but it’s also not sweet/sugary.

I like herbal tea (the yogi Egyptian licorice mint or Harney & Sons yellow and blue are my faves!), but I especially love kombucha. I have started making my own and find that it totally hits the spot in the evening when I need something fun + a little boost. Best thing is that it is great for your digestive health - I have not had a single stomach ache since I started drinking kombucha almost every day (and I used to be borderline IBS-C).

Please share how you make your own kombucha- I’d like to try but worry I’ll make it wrong.

Switch to drier and lighter wines. French burgundy rather than big California reds. Dry roses again french are drier. Italian Pinot Grigio if you like white.

Trader Joe’s carbonated juices, like the blood orange one. Not quite as sweet as regular juice but sweet enough that a small glass of it satisfied me. Now I guzzle cold spindrift and wear a sweater.

OP here - did you end up cutting back?

I'm PP and I did. I had found myself drinking a glass or two almost daily and now really only drink on the weekends. For me it wasn't that I was seeking alcohol or a buzz, it was that after spending all day drinking tons of water I wanted something different and was defaulting to wine.
