Anyone try any alcohol alternatives like naturally derived products in drinks or gummies?

I’ve learned to enjoy fizzy water with cordial. Srsly once you slide into something you enjoy it helps quench that thirst. Buying gimmicks off the Internet is not going to help longer term.

I figure why bother. I drunk alcohol to get drunk. Not nesecarily because it tasted good. Obviously id choose the ones that tasted better for me, though the whole reason i drunk it was purely to get shit face drunk and not to sip and enjoy the taste otherwise id have a cocacola or something else non related and refreshing.
Its a dangerous game to romanticise alcohol or to drink 0% beers ect ect. Each to their own. I tried that years ago but now i despise alcohol and everything related to it. I see it for the evil that it is. It will not have any power over me ever again.

I always tell myself if im looking to feel happy or anything from any sort of “alternative” than I need to do some more work bc feeling good and happy is something we need to get within… I can see a nice sparkling flavored drink. But I cant stand those ads you see on FB or tiktok about the drinks that get you buzzed without the alcohol hangover. So stupid imo
