About this listen

So, what exactly do you drink when you're not drinking? That's the question behind We're Not Drinking Tonight, the podcast that follows two friends and former party girls, Ciara and Shantel, as they taste their way through the latest and greatest additions to the budding no-, low-, and alternative alcohol spirits category. What inspired these two busy professionals, affectionately known as 'the Ladies', to seek out mocktails over cocktails, even though they both still drink alcohol (with no plans to stop)? Life! With corporate careers from 9-5 and active personal lives from 5-9, these days, the ladies are more likely to be having a glass of wine at a work dinner or bellinis at brunch than to be doing shots at the club. So for the nights when work or life obligations are calling the next day, why not find they best ways to relax that aren't 20% ABV? For days like that, the Ladies are all about staying social, spirited, and hangover free. For the other days, the tequila and champagne will still be there. Listen along as the ladies rate and review the latest and greatest no-alcohol, low-alcohol, cannabis, CBD, nootropic, and functional beverage alternatives out there, and discuss the changing spirits landscape with some debates and plenty of laughs along the way.© 2024 We're Not Drinking Tonight Hygiene & Healthy Living Self-Help Success

  • 004 - Move over Six-Pack! The Ladies try Spritzers from Recess, Mad Tasty and Kin.
    Feb 15 2022

    After a bit of a break, the Ladies are back with a multipack of reviews. We noticed there were tons non-alcoholic sodas nearby so we grabbed a few to see if they replace Shantel's favorite bubbly cocktail or Ciara's LaCroix.

  • 003- Can 'alcohol free' actually be vibes? The Ladies Try Kin Euphorics.
    Jan 23 2022

    What are the chances that a community totally centered around not drinking can actually be fun? Is it possible that a community centered around not drinking can actually be a vibe? Today, the ladies try Kin Euphorics, a brand that calls itself "a non-alcoholic experience designed to transform the world's oldest social ritual, drinking, into an act of concious connection." 

    Inspired by magic and science, Kin has a tight knit community and a beverage for every time of day, and it's the reason Bella Hadid gave up drinking. It's also the only brand we've tried so far that has an astrological sign. But does any of that make it drinkable? And do you actually feel euphoric? Or is it all hype. 

    Listen along as the ladies rate the experience from start to finish. Along the way they talk cutting alcohol for your workouts, nootropics vs. adaptogens, digital brand integration, and whether taste or smell is more important in an alcohol alternative.

  • 002- Can alternative spirits ever replace the real thing? The Ladies try Ritual Zero-Proof.
    Jan 23 2022

    In this episode, the ladies taste and review Ritual Zero Proof Spirit Alternatives.  Ritual Zero Proof calls itself "The True Replacement Liquor", but can a zero proof tequila, gin, or cognac ever really replace the real thing? 

    Listen in as the ladies give their unfiltered opinions on everything Ritual, from the first taste to the last sip to find out whether it truly is a true replacement. 

    Along the way they discuss day parties and the optimism that comes along with drunk shopping, and what happens when you ask for non-alcoholic beverages at the liquor store. They also get into some of the current regulatory challenges around CBD and Nootropics that can create a barrier to accessing alternative spirits online or even in person.
