FAQs

Won't I feel left out if everyone else is drinking?

Not if you're fully engaged in the game and atmosphere. Your enthusiasm for the sport will connect you with others, regardless of what's in your cup.

How do I handle peer pressure to drink at games?

Be confident in your choice. Have a non-alcoholic drink in hand and redirect the conversation to the game. True sports fans will respect your focus on the event.

Can I still participate in toasts or celebrations?

Absolutely! Many stadiums now offer non-alcoholic options. Just be aware that most non-alcoholic beers contain trace amounts of alcohol (usually 0.5% ABV or less, which is less than a ripe banana). Always check if you're completely avoiding alcohol.
