aurora5772 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Okay knowledgeable forummers, please help me decide what to drink. I've given up alcohol, a couple of weeks ago now, and tonight is the first time I'll be going out socially in Sheffield with a group of people who will be drinking. I would previously have drunk wine along with the others, but now need to find something else. I've never been a big one for going out, and there are so many more drinks in the bars now that I really don't know what they all are. I don't like sweet things particularly, or very fizzy things. In the past I've had diet coke, although it is still rather sweet, but have preferred bitter lemon or tonic (diet versions again - teeth reasons). I get bored with these flavours really quickly, though. I like water, but don't want to look like a cheapskate. Are there any other alcohol-free (or at a push, very very low alcohol), non-sweet, non-gassy drinks that I could drink all evening? Very grateful for all reasonable suggestions!!!!

weenireeni Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 what about lime and soda? not that sweet, and cheap as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry_Legs Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I always get a J2O topped up to a pint with soda water. It dilutes the sweetness and fizzyness and lasts a bit longer than the usual soft drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samstar999 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Ooh yes, J20 topped up with soda is my non-alcoholic beverage of choice. Not to a pint though as I'd be in the lav all night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurora5772 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions. Something or other topped up with soda water sounds really nice and refreshing. I'll try several of them. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scozzie Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I wa going to suggest the J20 with soda, and there are a number of flavours, so you can switch them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claret Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 how about bottled water - ask them to put loads of lemon/lime in too. Oh and fresh orange topped up with lemonade is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATIEB_23 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 My Mum is in the same situation as you. She like angostura bitters & tonic or soda (most bars should have it, you put a few drops in certain cocktails) I like orange juice & lemonade when I want something refreshing but not too fizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
