Reasons to Enjoy Zero-Proof Drinks 

Mocktails – zero-proof, non-alcoholic beverages – are popular with people who need to avoid alcohol, and they are gaining ground with others, too.

Studies show giving up alcohol improves sleep and energy level and saves money. Moreover, drinking less may also make weight loss and long term weight control easier because alcoholic beverages have calories that you may not need.

Health experts suggest that women limit their alcohol intake, which may help reduce their risk for breast cancer.

Whatever your goals, it never hurts to drink less alcohol.

I asked my friends for their favorite mocktail recipes, and they are amazing. Enjoy!
