Dry January has come and gone but what could a future of sober socializing look like? As a culture that puts an emphasis on drinking as the main social activity in dating, friendships, celebrations and work outings this can be a challenging piece of social interaction to face. And it’s often agreed- If you’re not drinking you’re inevitably having less fun. 

However, as sobriety becomes less of a polarizing decision, how can we support people on their journeys and take a closer look at the temptation to turn to alcohol for many of life’s moments.
