Okay you guys, let’s talk about draaankin.  Or, lack thereof.  It is probably one of people’s least favorite things to give up on Whole30 and I totally get it. Our society is all about the social drink and, frankly, it feels weird when someone says, “I’m not drinking.”  Wait -what.  You aren’t drinking? Why?  Are you pregnant?

No, I just don’t feel like drinking.

And that’s okay.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cocktail or beer with my pizza (on the rare occasion I eat pizza).  I just don’t drink a lot anymore because it simply just doesn’t make me feel good. I get headaches, I feel sluggish, bloated…. I have had to re-learn my limits (which is basically 1-2 drinks these days).  But mainly, I just don’t drink much.

So how do I deal with the social expectation to drink?  Honestly, I have noticed that as long as you have something that looks like a drink in your hand, people start to relax.  Also, honesty.  If I explain to someone that I just am not a big drinker and it doesn’t make me feel good, anyone who is my friend should be cool with that.  Finally, I bring what I want to drink.  Generally, my alcohol replacement is kombucha.  We went to a friend’s house for dinner 2 weeks ago and I brought a bottle of kombucha – this past weekend I visited my best friend and I also brought some kombucha.  I drink it out of a wine glass and, honestly, I don’t miss the alcohol.  (although I sure could have used a glass of wine after driving the 3 hours home in a blizzard ….. ).  You have to find out what works for you!

When I do actually want to have a drink and I am doing a Whole30 or a reset, I make one of these all. the. time. (or one of these)   They are so easy and absolutely delicious!

Quick note on the kombucha, I use the GTS Kombucha – it is one of my favorites, partly because they have so many freakin flavors and you can find them pretty much everywhere these days!  (not sponsored, I just really like this product!)

I know this I is a super simple recipe, but sometime those are the best!

I hope you guys are having a great week and, if you are doing Whole30 throughout January, I hope you are feeling pretty amazing right about now!
