As a non drinker, I am always thrilled when a restaurant/brewery has a non-alcoholic menu more creative than "Coke products or Orange juice"

Answer: they should be cheaper, but a mixed drink can be amazing, and depending on what is used can absolutely be worth more than "just juice" or "just soda water and syrup". I had a bartender friend who used to make INSANE mocktails for me. There wasn't even liquor versions of them. Like mint and black current with hops syrup he made himself with soda. It was sour and bitter and sweet and hoppy. That is not the same thing as lemonade. It isn't.

If a Hot Dog is a sandwich, pregnancy is definitely Body Building.

I can’t have alcohol because of health issues, but still like to go out for “drinks” with friends. They are NOT a scam.

Quitting alcohol at 30, all I have are mocktails and N.A. beers now. They’re not quite right. But, I do feel so much healthier. I’ll take the trade off.

They are WAY too expensive but not a scam. They don't claim to be anything they are not.

Nicole, I think what you were thinking about when you are talking about armbands around 7:10 are sleeve garters to hold your sleeves up when they're too long.

A lot of times I want to drink with my friends and just don't feel like getting drunk. Mocktails are great for that!

It's great to see that Nicole is finally getting some help from her coworkers for her condition.

I love a cute mock tail, especially those health focused ones with coconut water and lime, rather than just a bunch of sodas and syrups. Really cute alternative if you don’t drink, but I don’t wanna have just water or soda.
