#87. The Uncomfortable Truth: 4 Reasons Some Alcohol-Free Drinks Fall Flat
Manage episode 481628505 series 3499801
It’s time for some uncomfortable truths about alcohol-free drinks. This episode might make me a little unpopular in the industry, but that’s ok because it needs to be said: Not all alcohol-free drinks are good!
After being asked this very question during my BBC Radio Xtra debut (yay!), I was inspired to share this episode and explore with you why some low/no options fall short. But to keep the balance, it’s not all bad, I’m still sharing the love, but only after some real honesty.
0:00 Are all alcohol-free drinks good?

3:55 Why some drinks aren't great: sugar
