Planning a summer party but want to cut back on the alcohol for the sake of the kids and teens in your life? We have some great options for you to try!
Hosting a fun and memorable gathering doesn’t have to revolve around alcoholic beverages. In fact, you can create a festive and inclusive atmosphere with a variety of delicious and refreshing non-alcoholic drinks that everyone can enjoy. From fruity mocktails to NA beers, we’ve compiled a list of crowd-pleasing drinks that will keep your summer party vibrant and enjoyable for guests of all ages.
Wondering why you should go alcohol-free at parties with kids and teens present? Research suggests that teens whose parents are permissive towards their alcohol use (and even teens who see their parents drinking) are at greater risk of higher alcohol intake and more negative side effects from alcohol. Going alcohol-free at parties with kids and teens present sets a positive example, promotes a safer environment, and encourages responsible behavior among young people.
