Breaking The Booze Habit, Even Briefly, Has Its Benefits

Dry and High –

June 23, 2019 – At 8 p.m. on a Saturday night, people are starting to pack into a popular bar calledHarvard & Stone in an East Los Angeles neighborhood. The chatter gets louder as the booze begins to flow. In the far corner, about a dozen women in a group are clearly enjoying themselves too, but they are not drinking alcohol. They’re sipping handcrafted mocktails, with names like Baby’s First Bourbon and Honey Dew Collins, featuring nonalcoholic distilled spirits.

They’re part of a sober social club, made up mostly of women in their 30s who want to have fun and make friends without alcohol. The members of this club work out, have demanding jobs and simply don’t want to feel foggy or hungover anymore. Without alcohol, they say, they just feel better.
