[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be a once-per-month social drinker but had to stop entirely due to a medical issue. I don't miss the alcohol itself, but I miss the ritual and social aspects of it - a drink at a restaurant bar waiting for the table or happy hour with friends. Maybe this is part of the problem with those having difficulty with dry January. While I know that I can partake in non-alcoholic drinks in these settings, its not quite the same.[/quote] I don’t get how it is “not the same” when the vast majority of restaurants, hotel bars and bars have mocktail menus. What is different about sipping a virgin cocktail with muddled mint vs. a mojito? [/quote] The “vast majority” do not have menus. Can the bartender make you a Shirley Temple? Sure. Are coffee/tea/soft drinks available? Yes. But the vast majority do not have a mocktail menu.[/quote] This is not true in DC. Mocktails are a thing.[/quote]
