Non-Alcoholic Drinks Awards 2017
With St Patrick’s Day approaching, we’ve decided to encourage people to enjoy this sort of festival without drinking alcohol.
This is particularly important for people living in ‘recovery’ from their alcoholism.
In this Awards, we surveyed a variety of Facebook Groups and what follows is the ‘top 25’ non-alcoholic alternatives we encourage you to enjoy in 2017. The winners are simply placed in random order.
If we have missed something out, please contact us and we will consider your entry in next year’s awards.
