Learn what it means to be sober curious, the current popularity of non-alcoholic beverages, and where you can enjoy a mocktail in the Holy City.

Here are a few stand-out stats:
- Total dollar sales of non-alcoholic beverages grew by 20.6% between August 2021 and 2022. Non-alcoholic beer accounted for 85.3% of those sales.
- 36% of US consumers reported to have “lost interest in drinking alcohol in general” while 13% reported to be “interested in alternative non-alcoholic beverages.”
- Global Market Share predicts that the non-alcoholic drinks market will grow to $30 billion by 2025.
