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.

Non-alcoholic drink ideas for Christmas

Don’t worry we aren’t suggesting you stick to a pint of milk with a plate of gingerbread men.

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

Non-alcoholic mulled wine

You could make a mulled wine minus the alcohol.

Mixing pomegranate juice, blackberries, and spices.

As warming as the real deal, with all the Christmas spirit just no… Spirits!

 

Fruity Mocktail

If you’d prefer a sweeter drink, you should try out this fruit-flavoured mocktail.

Simply dash some grenadine in a glass of orange juice. To make it more fun you can add some fruit for a stirrer (great if you’re peckish).

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)!
