What’s the point of a booze break?

Recent studies on the effects of alcohol on the brain and body have determined that no amount of alcohol is safe for our health. Talk about a literal buzz kill. According to the Centers for Disease Control alcohol can lead to, “High blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease and digestive problems. Cancer of the breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, voice box, liver, colon and rectum. Weakening of the immune system, increasing the chances of getting sick. Learning and memory problems, including dementia and poor school performance.”

The good news is, taking breaks can help curb alcohol’s negative effects. That’s where Drink Fit Club comes in, arming you with accurate, up-to-date information on the effects of alcohol so you can make informed decisions and to recommend delicious alcohol alternatives, tips, strategies and all around motivation. Follow along on Facebook and Instagram and let’s party without the booze, together!

Party without the booze on Instagram!

I repeat: This is a New Orleans doctor. 👀 Happy Saturday, y’all! After Jazz Fest last week we hit @courtyardbrew and I enjoyed and NA golden ale by @bustylush. All the high fives to Scott at Courtyard for stocking a delicious craft beer option for those not drinking. I also had an ice cream from @rahmhaus_icecream on its last day and am so sad its going away. 😭 Scott, if you can’t talk them into continuing, please at least get another ice cream slinger in there! But I digress. Anyhoo, what yummy NA goodies are y’all drinking this weekend? Share in comments! The New Orleans @jazzfest is fun no matter what’s in your cup! But, the sober support wellness retreat tent was fabulous! I had a Ginger Fiz poured out from @taptrucknola. Thank you so much Jazz Fest organizers, @join1millionstrong and @riserecoverlive. 🔥❤️🔥 When you’re an alcohol-free Kentuckian and it’s @kentuckyderby day, it’s spiritless Kentucky 74 time! Happy Derby Day, y’all! If April showers bring May flowers, I can’t wait to see what’s on tap for next month. 🌿🪩🌿 #LetTheGoodTimesRoll I’m available for your next gathering. Happy Thursday, y’all! How exciting is it that this year @jazzfest has an alcohol-free lounge tent with non-alc beverages and more?! See below! MAJOR high-fives to Jazz Fest organizers and 1 Million Strong! Happy Earth Day, y’all! Last night during a sunset picnic on the bayou with friends, I brought a bottle of Mademoiselle Sophie. It’s a nonalcoholic, dry, French sparkling rosé. (NOLA peeps, I purchased it at Martin Wine Cellar.) I didn’t love it. 😬 But you might? 🤷🏻‍♀️ A couple of my friends (open-minded wine lovers who aren’t AF but are always interested in the NA options I bring) tried it, too. One described it as reminding her of La Croix. We all agreed the wine flavor just wasn’t there. It had a little funk, too, at the finish. If you want something that doesn’t taste like the real thing, and you like La Croix with a little funk, you might love it. I personally will stick with Sovi rosé for the time being. Have you tried Mademoiselle Sophie? What did you think? TGIF, y’all! This week, I’m back on @mollykimballrd’s FUELED podcast. We’re exploring the ever-growing world of non-alcoholic beer with Scott Wood, brewer and owner of @courtyardbrew. Our tasting includes a variety of low-cal options from breweries across the country and we give our honest opinions on each one. Plus, you’ll get to repeatedly hear the satisfying sound of foamy liquid being poured into a glass. 🍺
