You want drinks that taste like the ones you already love, new and exciting options with something special to offer, experiences that enhance rather than shorten your evenings, and practical advice that fits your busy, demanding life.&nbsp;I’m Denise Hamilton-Mace, founder and editor of Low No Drinker Magazine – the leading global publication for mindful and sober curious drinkers and a professional public speaker on all things low, no and light.&nbsp;&nbsp;My goal with this podcast is to help you feel more confident and more comfortable in your choice to explore a life less intoxicated, and to help you find, understand and enjoy the drinks that make it possible.&nbsp;If you are, or aspire to be the type of savvy moderator who recognises that drinking less is not a binary decision for you, who knows that coasting with mid-strength drinks, alternating through zebra-striping or bookending the start and end of your night with something non-alcoholic are all viable options then this show is for you.&nbsp;And you’ll leave each episode feeling motivated and supported to keep energy for the things that matter most: family, health, career, and living life on your own terms.&nbsp;Each week on the Low No Drinker Podcast, you’ll get to either:Meet the Makers: Join me in intimate conversations with the founders, brewers, distillers, and visionaries who are creating premium alcohol-free drinks that don't compromise on taste. Discover their personal journeys, what drives their innovation, and why their products are perfect for the discerning midlife palate.&nbsp;Mindful Moderation Solo episodes: Practical deep-dives into the questions that matter to sophisticated drinkers who want to moderate smartly, with topics like:&nbsp;-&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Why do premium alcohol-free drinks cost the same as full-strength versions when there's no alcohol and no tax?-&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How can I find an alcohol-free red wine that actually tastes like the Malbec I love?-&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What's the real difference between no, low and light alcohol options?-&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How do I navigate social situations when I'm the only one moderating?-&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What are the best functional drinks for midlife energy and wellness?&nbsp;This isn't about going completely dry or following someone else's rules.
