I’m not paying 12 bucks for 6 oz. of juice.

And why drink all those calories if it’s not gonna give you a good time?

I think you're being sarcastic but since I can't tell - there's way more calories in a cocktail than a juice and you can still have a good time

Of course, because the alcohol adds so much in calories, but at least you get something in return on top of your beer belly :)

Also funny, just realized you have the same name as my first girlfriend’s mom.

Went to their first pop up and did get a “hangover” because the cocktails were so sugary. There’s a way to do NA, I would not say this is it

Juice being sugar laden fruit flavoring. Maybe they will use low calorie sweeteners.

Many sober people are in recovery... Interesting that you'd hate to hear about people helping themselves from dying a fatal disease....

Sober vegan here. Comments like yours illustrate just how much unhealthy behavior is normalized, while simultaneously demonizing people trying to better themselves. Sober people are not obnoxious, we're left out. Vegans are not obnoxious, we're laughed at. The smallest pip-squeak of "any NA drinks?" or "what are your vegan options?" are perceived by people like you as "antics," when really we're not doing shit but chilling. Meanwhile, Mr Meat-sweats in the corner is on his 10?th beer, loud, incomprehensible, and acting a fool. Tell me again, who's the obnoxious ones? I understand you may be struggling with your unhealthy decisions. But dont come after me. I too once felt guilty about my alcohol and animal consumption. I suspect you may be in the same boat.

Ah, yes. Let's all just ignore the risks of drinking. Over 100,000 people die from alcohol in the US every year. Some of us dont want to be part of that statistic. Many of my friends and family, and even myself have been negatively affected by a destructive substance that is shoved in our faces at every opportunity. But that's besides the point. I dont even want to argue if drinking is good or not, cause you already know the answer. Lets talk about the article. It's not telling you to change your life, just mentions a new trend, and reveals a couple new interesting spots. Meanwhile, there's like a thousands normal bars. These new spots are refreshing and low key. They're literally just an alternative option in a sea of liquor. Why are you triggered? Enlighten yourself.

To be fair you brought up the vegan thing. If you stigmatize the friendly vegans the obnoxious ones will make more noise.

I don't think you'll be able to convince someone like this, at least not without (possibly affecting) a friendly attitude. I used to be a vegetarian, but quit because the issue is so far off most peoples radar.

Can't you miss them by just going to a normal bar?
