There are absolutely loads of reasons why people choose not to drink alcohol. For some, it's a health choice, for others pregnancy, while a few may just want a night off every now and then. For a long-time, non-alcoholic alternatives had a bit of a rubbish reputation because they never tasted like the real thing, were hard to find, and costly.
But in recent years, loads more effort has been put into them by companies, including some which make well-known alcoholic brands, and the result is a market that's growing, and producing some stuff you might actually choose to drink.
It's not just the big name brands either. If you're happy to hunt around, and probably lose a few bottles to either the back of the cupboard or down the drain, there are some alternatives out there that are definitely worth your time and will get your tastebuds tingling, no matter what the reason you're not picking up a bottle of booze.
