 Non-alchoholic substitutions for NYE?
So, i have this party to go to for NYE...doug won't be home till almost midnight, i figure i might as well go meet up/catch up with some old friends.
The only problem is that the drive is an hour away across the city and there will be DUI checkpoints EVERYWHERE...
Other than having a Tonic w/lime (minus the vodka), what are some of your suggestions for non-alchoholic drinks where you can't tell the alchohol is missing? I don't want to use their blender, so i'm looking for something similar to the tonic w/lime that will simulate and compensate for having a real beverage in my hand. wouldn't mind putting this idea into place for the entire year (i bet it'd help me lose more weight too!).
I do have a breathalyzer that i could bring with me, but i don't really want to have to even worry about how long i have to wait etc etc...plus anything beyond 2 drinks typically sends me into a downward spiral (sobering to say the least and i tend to get cranky) unless i keep drinking...so i'd be fun to honestly not drink (but feel like i am) for once.
Any ideas are appreciated. |
