World alcohol-free day: focus on mindful drinking

Everyone knows: alcohol is harmful to your health, disrupts your sleep and makes you age faster. The WHO even says: "The only thing we can say with certainty is that the more you drink, the more harmful the effect – or to put it another way: the less you drink, the safer you are." In recent years, more and more non-alcoholic options such as mocktails and juices have appeared on restaurant and bar menus, while non-alcoholic beer and non-alcoholic sparkling wine have been added to store shelves. The first alcohol-free Späti even opened in Berlin in 2019 – it's called sober; a trend that was initially ridiculed.
