Non Alcoholic After dinner drink

[Yellowriver]

Quit drinking cold turkey dec 26 2024. So far no problems but do miss having a beer or whiskey after dinner to wind down after days work. Have tried hot tea so far but what else do people recommend? Do try staying away from sugar as much as I can. Thanks in advance.

Have an NA.

For me it's just water.

Tonic and grenadine. Even as a drinker I'll drink it when I don't want a DRINK.

Same for tonic, bitters, and lime. But that has a miniscule bit of alcohol. Some of my sober friends will, some won't.

Mine was and still is hot tea. I drink it every evening. I try to stay away from caffeine later in the day so I stick to decaf earl grey or roasted dandelion root which is my favorite. Nice and earthy.

Athletic brewing company makes an outstanding NA. They make a tasty full body beer. I have gotten to the point that I prefer them to a real beer 97% of the time. I like the hazy and IPA my wife drinks the golden dawn.

Time to quit the "I need a drink to wind down" phase.

After grog I first went to soda water with cordial or fruit. After that I transitioned to brewing and drinking kombucha and I haven’t left.

If you like the hot tea give the LMNT chocolate salt packs a try. Zero sugar hot cocoa and it’s actually good for you. It’s my go to during hunting season in the mountains and my wife has one a couple times a week during the winter. Congrats on giving up alcohol! Only gets easier when you get passed all the habits that were built around the alcohol.

Personally, I quit 8 years ago and never looked back. I haven't even had a nonalcoholic beer or anything of such, I quit.

LMNT chocolate medley is a great alternative to hot chocolate @sebastian.cassell. Pretty good with a splash of skrewball also.

I dont like to drink either caffeine or sugar in the evening, also not a fan of artificial sweeteners.

I enjoy various "hop water" products. Its basically a sparkling water with hops for flavor. Its not a beer like flavor. Just something more interesting than water with no alcohol, caffeine, sugar, artificial sweeteners, and its more dry that sweet. Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher is a good one that seems widely available nationwide, Sierra Nevada makes one as well. Lots of other local options where I am but those two seem available nationally.

I have not had alcohol since sometime late summer 2021 and I enjoy these far more than soda or other sweet beverages.
