If your childhood was anything like ours, you were probably brought up thinking alcohol was an essential part to help adults unwind after a long day or celebrate occasions properly. Fast forward to the present and we may find ourselves reaching for a cold one for similar reasons.

Nice one, mate. If you’re thinking January 1 is a good time to cut back on drinking, let us say it’s a very smart move. Reducing your alcohol intake or cutting out booze altogether has heaps of benefits for your health and across other areas of your life. 

Whether you’re thinking this could be your New Year’s resolution or you’re still on the fence, here are our top tips to tackle how to drink less.

Whatever your fitness jam is, we reckon you wouldn’t wish to undo all the great work you’ve pumped into your workout or have your goals slammed from chugging unnecessary liquid calories. And we get it, sometimes only a cold frothy brew can quench that post workout thirst. Thankfully, low-calorie non-alcoholic drinks exist.

As we finally head towards warmer weather, the festive season is fast approaching and there are many parties, dinners and barbecues to be had with friends and family. And while we here at Craftzero love an ice-cold frothy when we’re flipping snags, some occasions might call for something a little different.

If you’ve ever had a hankering for an old fashioned or a gin and tonic but needed to drive home, or didn’t want to face a splitting headache the next day, you’ll see the appeal of a non-alcoholic spirit.
