Happy and sober celebrate the holidays

Parties and alcohol are inextricably linked. And there will be no shortage of parties in the coming weeks. Now that you're on your break, you can celebrate your parties without alcohol. You can read here how you can ensure that you turn down the alcohol without difficult conversations.

Buddy search

Inform someone from the group you are celebrating Christmas with that you are not drinking alcohol this month, and therefore also at Christmas dinner. He or she can support you if necessary.

Make a quick phone call

'Yes, hello with me. A little about that cozy Christmas party at your house. So I don't drink alcohol this month. Then you know that I say 'no' to a full-bodied red wine just as much as to a Tripel beer. If you want, I'll bring my own alternative. Because right now I love… (fill in the blank). Thank you!'

You are the party giver yourself

You don't have to explain anything in advance when you are the host or hostess yourself. No hassle and you stock up on extra tasty alternatives.

Well remembered

That you temporarily don't want to drink is not something you have to hide. It is actually something to be proud of. What a healthy choice of you. In addition, family and friends support each other, if all goes well, through thick and thin. It would be weird if a loved one forces you to do something you don't want. And luckily there is more than alcohol that binds you.
