I've been a teetotaler since 2002. Over the last few years the quality and availability of NA options has risen DRAMATICALLY. It's so nice to be able to have NA beverages in social settings that are not just soda or water.

The problem i have with all of these is the price. They are priced the same as alcoholic drinks, but alcoholic drinks are only as expensive as the are because of the taxes on alcohol. These here arent taxed like that so they could be way cheaper for the same quality, or way better quality for the same price. $6 for a small can of fruit soda? Even a boutique specialty fruit soda with a bunch of extracts and aetheric oils would be like $3-4 a can. They just call it aperitif and almost double the price.

@jonesnbones 11 күн бұрын

100%. The prices should go down as competition increases. NA beers are reasonable since there was an established niche market.

@itsmederek1 11 күн бұрын

Yeah its just a matter of time until prices come down. The market is currently thrives on novelty but its becoming proven which will invite lots of competition

@hefudgedafrog 11 күн бұрын

I remember having a massive argument with someone about this and they were trying to say that scale and process make the drink more expensive but there is no way it makes THAT much of a difference. The Lyre brand of non-alcoholic spirits is literally just water, with extracts and sugar added, pretty much just cordial. I get non-alcoholic wine and beer being pricey because they make the product and distill the alcohol out of it - it's a more complicated process - but for products where it's just sugar, water, flavourings there's no way it should be $40 - $50.

@mrloboto 10 күн бұрын

Not to mention these can all skip the fermentation. Removing a process, storage costs, and time, while still costing the same or even more in the case of that gin, It's not mathing.

@itsmederek1 10 күн бұрын

@@mrloboto The alchohol free gin is still made through distillation with botanicals. Its not that much cheaper to make than gin honestly as the difference is just grain alchohol which is not expensive(gin is dirt cheap to produce though). Obviously taxes make a massive difference though

@kellenholt6655 11 күн бұрын

The sober crowd is a tricky one to market content towards. I’ve seen people get so defensive when it comes to criticism towards NA products because any negative comments get twisted into framing the person making said comments as somehow promoting alcoholism or alcohol use. I think NA products have their place and it’s great that there are a lot more products in this category on the market now, but the people who champion them always seem to also give off this subtle disdain towards people who still partake in alcohol. It’s fine if people want to stay sober, but there’s no need to get high and mighty towards others just because you made a personal life decision.
