It’s time for some uncomfortable truths about alcohol-free drinks. This episode might make me a little unpopular in the industry, but that’s ok because it needs to be said: Not all alcohol-free drinks are good!
After being asked this very question during my BBC Radio Xtra debut (yay!), I was inspired to share this episode and explore with you why some low/no options fall short. But to keep the balance, it’s not all bad, I’m still sharing the love, but only after some real honesty.
0:00 Are all alcohol-free drinks good?
2:07 Jumping on the bandwagon
3:55 Why some drinks aren't great: sugar
5:36 Unbalanced
6:46 Artificial flavourings
7:19 Confusion
8:51 Trial & error
10:51 Brands will come and go
12:50 Personal taste
15:10 Try & try again

#21 Decem: From MasterChef finalist to 10% Spirit Distiller
#59 Plant-powered AF Brewing: On Beer
