QUICK QUOTES:
"The average Brit in their adult lifetime, from the age of 18 to the age of I think it was mid-60s somewhere, would spend £62,899 on alcohol. £62,899. That is a lot of money"
"Choosing alcohol-free isn't just about the cost for that one drink. It's about the long-term gain that you get for choosing a life less intoxicated."
This is part two of my mini-series on the true cost of alcohol-free drinks.
Last week, we pulled back the curtain on the industry economics — from research and development to supermarket shelf space.
This week, I’m shifting the focus to you as the drinker. Yes, an AF pint might cost the same as a full-strength one, but what about the money saved on late-night taxis, hangover takeaways, or rounds of shots?
Beyond that, I dig into the personal costs: lost sleep, low mood, missed workouts, strained relationships, and even burnout. Choosing alcohol-free isn’t just about the price of one drink — it’s about the long-term gains for your financial, emotional and physical health.
