Women are more at risk for alcohol-related liver damage, and the recommended daily limit is one drink for women and two for men. While no alcohol is truly healthy, organic red wine and keto-friendly options are better choices. To minimize alcohol's impact, space out drinks, eat before drinking, and prioritize hydration and balanced meals. Non-alcoholic options can provide a social alternative without the hangover.
The market for non-alcoholic cocktails, or mocktails, is growing as more people participate in Dry January and seek alternatives to traditional alcoholic drinks. While some companies offer upscale non-alcoholic options, others opt for more affordable fizzy alternatives.

Overall, the demand for non-alcoholic beverages is on the rise, indicating a growing interest in alcohol-free alternatives.
