Queen Elizabeth II was known for many accomplishments, including sending some of the very first emails from a military base in the U.K. and announcing the rollout of a new programming language on ARPANET, the precursor to the internet.

Her favorite drink was a gin and Dubonnet cocktail, which she reportedly enjoyed every day before lunch.

However, with the growing variety of nonalcoholic alternatives available, many brands are now offering drinks infused with herbs, adaptogens, nootropics, and botanical ingredients.

These include nonalcoholic liquors, beers, and spritzers, and many consumers find they do not miss the alcohol at all.

Factors such as science, innovation, evolving lifestyles, and changing attitudes toward health contribute to the growth of the nonalcoholic drinks market.

Recent news reports indicate that more consumers have indulged in non-alcoholic beverages in the past couple of years as manufacturers have expanded their offerings to include non-alcoholic craft beer, spirits, and other drinks.

According to Statista, revenue generated in supermarkets and convenience stores in the non-alcoholic drinks market is projected to reach $220.20 billion by 2025.

The revenue from out-of-home consumption, such as restaurants and bars, is expected to be $317.10 billion in the same year.

These figures totaled $537.40 billion in revenue for the non-alcoholic drinks market in 2025. The market is estimated to grow 0.9% for at-home consumption in 2026, with the average volume per person in the non-alcoholic drinks market expected to reach 350.00 liters in 2025.

For those who haven't yet made the switch to non-alcoholic options, a 2023 book on alcohol offers a practical approach to making significant lifestyle changes quickly.

The book is written by Dr. Alicia Lamberghini-West, Pilar Karlen Triplett, and Dr. William Triplett.

Lamberghini-West is a clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience in women's issues and addictions; Pilar Karlen Triplett is a certified life and health coach specializing in total life transformation; and Dr. William Triplett is a family physician with expertise in family medicine and urgent care.

They draw on case studies, research, professional insights, and firsthand experiences in their work.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, between 1% and 5% of U.S. children in the first grade are affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).

FASD refers to a range of lifelong physical, behavioral, and cognitive impairments resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure. These impairments can vary from mild to severe and may contribute to learning disabilities, speech and language delays, visual and hearing problems, issues with critical organs, and ongoing social challenges.

Additionally, prenatal alcohol exposure raises the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

An analysis of U.S. death certificate data conducted by researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism—a part of the National Institutes of Health—found that nearly 1 million people died from alcohol-related causes between 1999 and 2017.

The number of death certificates mentioning alcohol more than doubled, increasing from 35,914 in 1999 to 72,558 in 2017.

In that year, alcohol was implicated in approximately 2.6% of all deaths in the United States.
