Tag urself: I'm "deprived layabouts"
Funny, because it irks me to no end to try and look up non-alcoholic drinks that arent sweet sodas for big babies and getting told I should make a "mocktail."
Frankly we ought to reorient the terms "drink" and "drinking" away from alcoholic shit.
- You can get some pretty nice ginger beers that aren't very sweet, though I agree that it would be nice for there to be more non-alcoholic non-pop drink options. Sparkling water and a slice of lemon is my go-to in summer
  
  frickin love a spicy ginger beer
  Cock n Bull is pretty widely available iirc
  
  Honestly, non-alcoholic beer has really gotten good over the last few years
- Kvass is rad. Ranges in taste from non-alcoholic beer to rye bread to a sweet roll.
  
  I made alcoholic kvass once. I don't know how but it turned out like fucking champagne. Was interesting.
- Ive been mixing one part unsweetened tea with two parts strawberry lemonade with some chopped up strawberries or any berries added. Then I add ice and shake it up real good in a shaker and it comes out deliciously frothy.
- try tea, comrade. I'm cooking up a post about it in /c/food
  
  Looking forward to this!
- Posca
- More places should have Malta India. Its like if cornflakes was soda.
Is Kelly the wife-avoiding regular or the fed up alcohol enthusiast?
based nixologist
I haven't had a single drink since last September, I honestly thought it would be harder to socialize with friends but it really isn't... dates are pretty much done for, though
- dates are pretty much done for, though
  ?
  
  these might be a good replacement, especially now that I have calories to spare from the alcohol I no longer drink
- Not where I am, in my experience! I'm in my mid-30s and I've only had a single date in which there was no drinking, and that one went nowhere. I got ghosted by that date shortly thereafter, in fact lol
  It's more of a me problem, to be honest... I'm just not good at this kind of stuff generally, and doing it stone cold sober doesn't make it any better at all. Hope things go better for you!
- Last time I got laid we went to an Indian restaurant and didn't have any booze.
  I drink tho lol.
The idea of a bar that only serves non alcoholic drinks is interesting. But really isn't that just a juice bar?
"Some Millenial" looking old
I’ve been trying to understand where Kelly actually stands on issues. Some of the comics go hard unironically, but I can’t help but cringe still.
What are they trying to say here? Is it a shot at millennials or a shot at the boomers blaming millennials?
- Stan Kelly is a fictional artist who is meant to be a parody of a boomer, so the comic itself is meant to read as a boomer taking a shot at millennials, but is in reality a millennial taking a shot at boomers.
  The actual author, Ward Sutton, is a Blue MAGA liberal, which is extremely disappointing..
  
  Aaaaah okay, yeah sometimes it seems a little too thick, like SNL thick. Which makes sense cuz he is an onion lib.
  Thanks for the clarification.
Nothing a flask won’t solve
Lady Liberty hitting the bottle hard lately.
I basically only drink on new years eve or like weddings and I've had a fair share of virgin drinks but why get an overpriced mocktail instead of just a slurpee or one of those pre mix bottles?
