Alternatives To Drinking Alcohol To Relax

Introduction

I've been a social drinker for years. My favorite thing to do is get together with friends and share a bottle of wine or a nice cocktail, but lately I've begun to wonder if it's time for me to cut back on the boozy fun. After all, alcohol has some major health effects, from liver damage to increased risk of certain cancers and heart diseases. So instead of cutting myself off entirely, I decided it might be time for me to start exploring some non-alcoholic alternatives—and maybe even discover some new favorites!

Kombucha

Kombucha is a fermented tea that is full of probiotics and contains a variety of vitamins and minerals.
It's made by adding sugar to tea, letting it ferment, then adding fruit or herbs to flavor it.
Kombucha is said to help with digestion and boost energy levels as well as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It also helps fight off harmful bacteria in your digestive system, which can make you feel less bloated after eating.
Gluten-free diets are often low in fiber—a nutrient that helps keep your digestive system healthy—so drinking kombucha may be beneficial if you're on such a diet.

Chicory Root Drink

Drinking chicory root tea is a great alternative to drinking alcohol to relax. Chicory root is a natural source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that promotes healthy gut bacteria. It also contains calcium, iron and potassium which are all known as bone-building nutrients that can help improve your health overall. Chicory root also has magnesium and B vitamins helping you maintain stable blood glucose levels while boosting your energy levels at the same time!

You can make chicory root tea by steeping 2 teaspoons of ground chicory root in 8 ounces (235 ml) boiling water for 15 minutes. You should drink 3 cups per day for maximum health benefits!

Ginger Beer

Ginger beer is a type of soft drink made from ginger, sugar and yeast. Ginger beer typically contains no alcohol, but some brands do contain a small amount of alcohol.

Ginger beer can be carbonated or non-carbonated (ginger ale). If you love the taste of ginger, then you may be interested in trying this popular non-alcoholic drink!

Jun

Jun is a fermented tea made from dried, young leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Jun can be made with a variety of herbs and spices such as ginger or cinnamon, which gives it its distinct flavor profile. This beverage has been used for centuries to help aid digestion, improve circulation and even suppress coughs.

Jun can replace alcohol in your life if you're looking for an alternative way to relax that isn't as intoxicating (or addictive). Similar to beer or wine, jun contains low levels of alcohol (about 1% ABV) but doesn't cause intoxication like other alcoholic beverages do. It's also energizing since it contains caffeine and vitamin B12—this makes jun a healthier option than drinking too much alcohol!

CBD Oil And Tinctures

CBD oil is a compound derived from the cannabis plant. It’s non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high. You can purchase CBD oil as a dietary supplement and use it to treat pain or anxiety without experiencing any of the side effects that come with THC consumption.

In 2016, the US Farm Bill legalized hemp production in all 50 states—including industrial uses like clothing and food products. That means that legally speaking, CBD is totally fine to buy and sell—and it doesn’t need to be sourced from cannabis plants either; it can also be extracted from other types of herbs like echinacea root (which has its own health benefits).

There are lots of beverage options that don't include alcohol.

It's not the only way to relax, and it's probably not the best. Just because alcohol is a popular way to unwind doesn't mean it's the only option available! There are so many other ways that you can relax without alcohol. You can take a bath or take a walk or read a book or watch TV or do anything else that makes you feel relaxed and at ease. Alcohol may be a socially acceptable drink, but there are plenty of better ways to socialize than by getting drunk with your friends (or even just one friend). When was the last time someone got buzzed off of talking about their favorite book? Or listening to music together? Or cooking dinner together? Or watching movies at home with each other?

Conclusion

We hope you found this list of non-alcoholic drinks helpful.
