5 Reasons the Sober-Curious Trend is Here to Stay.

Millennial and Gen-Z’ers are leading this movement of reducing alcohol intake to improve overall wellness. The sober-curious movement focuses on mindful experiences, health-conscious choices, and wholesome celebration. We’re seeing both consumers who drink alcohol, and those who don’t, be more intentional about their beverage choices, and we don’t blame them!

Here are 5 reasons this trend is here to stay!

Ever heard of hangover anxiety?

Hangover Anxiety, also known as hangxiety, is a major reason people are cutting out alcohol. The day, or multiple days, you spend in bed after a drinking binge is a product of hangxiety. No one enjoys waking up the next morning with waves of guilt, anxiety or nausea! (Thanks 2020, we’ve had enough of that!)

Alcohol is a depressant, we know this. The Addiction Center tells us that alcohol “binds to receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is a neurotransmitter responsible for producing feelings of calmness and sedation.” So when we end up feeling down, that just means it’s doing its job. The sober-curious trend is asking us to stop consuming depressants in hopes of having a better night. Your night is what you choose to make of it. Why not choose beverages that don’t result in anxiety the next day?

2. The red wine myth has been busted.

Have you seen those articles floating around stating that red wine is good for your health? This year, the Harvard Health Blog wrote that the connection between red wine supporting heart health is “very weak.” There was initial research supporting the idea that polyphenols, an antioxidant found in red wine, was turning this evening treat into a potential healthy habit. Unfortunately, the amount of red wine needed to get any benefit from polyphenols comes with a larger cost.

So, if we aren’t doing it for our health, and we don’t enjoy the headaches the next day, what’s stopping us from finding an alternative? Not a thing!

3. 2020 taught us self-care is key.

Napping is #selfcare

Taking care of your mind and body is crucial. The ways in which we take care of ourselves is ever-evolving. Quarantine has led many people to reevaluate their relationship with alcohol. Your beverage can absolutely be a valuable part of your self-care routine. Taking care of your mind means that you’re mindful of what you consume.

We’ve all had to step up our self-care game in 2020! The buzz you’ll get from Sun Chaser pairs well with a night out, or an evening at home. It’s light enough to boost your mood without getting you down the next day.
