10 Non-Alcoholic Drinks to Keep the Party Going This Dry January
Dry January doesn't have to be, well, dry. From functional beverages to zero-proof social tonics, these alcohol alternatives may just become a part of your daily rotation.
After a festive holiday season, many opt to set their spirits down and participate in Dry January to reset their body and mind for the New Year.

From botanical, zero-proof spirits, to adaptogen-boosted drinks, to micro-dosed beverages, these alcohol-free options are just as suited for social drinking, and won't betray you with a hangover the next day.
