How To Stay Alcohol-Free This Christmas With Non-Alcoholic Drinks & Mocktails

Are you on prescribed medication?

It’s widely known that mixing your medication with alcohol is a no-no.

You should know however that having an alcohol-free Christmas is easier (and probably more fun) than you realise.

Christmas mocktails have the same amount, if not more, Christmas spirit in them (without the actual spirits).

Top tips for avoiding alcohol at Christmas

We know it’s hard to avoid alcohol at Christmas time. It seems all you see when you set foot in the shops are alcohol adverts.

It’s crucial not to have alcohol when on prescribed medication, to avoid adverse effects, and to make sure you get the full benefits from the medication you’re on.

Here are some quick tips:

  • Bring your own favourite drink to Christmas parties
  • Be careful with the events you choose to attend
  • Engage in activities that don’t involve just sitting and drinking
  • Make sure you have your pitch ready on why you’re not drinking… keep to it (you could assign yourself to be the designated driver)!
