Tipsy-Turvy: Why non-alcoholic spirits are here to stay


There is actually a strong case for having more non-alcoholic versions of beers or spirits around.

Happy New Year! The arrival of a new year is usually the chance to begin anew, or to try something we’ve never tried before. Hence, I’ve decided to write about something different for my first column of 2022 – non-alcoholic spirits.

Now, before you scoff, do hear me out. There is actually a strong case for having more non-alcoholic versions of beers or spirits around. More and more people are health-conscious and drinking less alcohol today, and if we are going to be serious about reducing drink driving cases, then non-alcoholic drinks are essential for the market. After all, if you’re the designated driver at a gathering, you want to be able to order a non-alcoholic drink and not feel left out. (Do note, however, that these are still non-halal drinks meant for non-Muslims only).
