Everyone loves the feeling of a heady buzz, especially after a long day at the office<\/a> (hello, happy hour!), which is why so much of our social<\/a> lives are centered around alcohol. That, and the fact that cocktails are just plain delicious. But with all the recent research out there on how booze just isn\u2019t that great for your body or brain, more and more people are jumping on the \u201csober curious\u201d wagon. And with good reason: In the age of the hustle, who has time to be hungover?<\/p>\n

After all, if you\u2019re already KonMari-ing every other area of your life, your drinking may be next: Do those tequila shots spark joy? (Certainly in the moment, but perhaps not the next day.)<\/p>\n

That being said, if you\u2019re like us, it\u2019s still hard to stop after just one French 75. But the new recommended alcohol guidelines<\/a> for women cap the limit at just one drink per day (that\u2019s 5 ounces of wine [12%], 12 ounces beer [5% ABV], 1.5 ounces of liquor [40% ABV]), before you inadvertently sign yourself up for some pretty serious adverse health effects<\/a> over the long-term, like breast cancer, liver disease, stress on the heart, memory loss, and brain shrinkage (yikes!).<\/p>\n

As the shelves fill up with birch water, CBD-infused seltzer, and chaga mushroom elixirs, it\u2019s clear the wellness<\/a> industry is taking note. We all still want something that\u2019s not just plain water or the omnipresent Lacroix to sip on while communing with coworkers or catching up with friends.<\/p>\n

Bars everywhere are starting to add zero-proof spirits and mocktails to their menus, but it\u2019s just as easy (and fun!) to whip up one in the comfort<\/a> of your own home<\/a>. We\u2019ve got a few recs and recipes straight from the brands, for you to stir up\u2014and sip slowly.<\/p>\n
