"If you are drinking to socialize and have fun, there are a variety of drinks that can be enjoyed in place of alcohol. Non-alcoholic beverages such as water, coffee, tea, and juice all make great options for your night out." "Some more creative ideas include sparkling grape juice with soda water; hot cocoa with vegan marshmallows or whipped cream; iced herbal tea like chamomile or peppermint; fresh fruit smoothies made with yogurt and milk (or soy milk); club soda mixed with seltzer plus limes and lemons; ginger ale plus lemonade."-The Wellness Center at Mercy College.
