For my final column of 2024, it's a snootle (sober and otherwise) of something to help you celebrate the holidays and the New Year!
Tippling tips, tricks, and trends from a couple of local drinks experts.

My latest food column for CBC-KW is up! This time, it's about sober summer sipping.
Whether you're taking a sober break, saving the buzz for the weekend, or just wanting to be able to drive home safely, there are better and tastier zero-proof options than juice and pops :)

Olutharrastajana oli helppo samaistua vaikka tipatonta onkin vasta 2kk takana. Tarkoitus oli ottaa vuoden tipaton ihmiskokeena, mutta nyt on fiilis ettei tämä jää vuoteen.
Olutharrastus, kun pitää stouteista, barley wineista ja vahvoista IPA/Neipa oluista on vähän salakavala harrastus vaikka vaan maistelee ja nautiskelee.
I'm not really feeling NYE this year. I'm exhausted, I'm bored of celebrations centered around alcohol, I'm frustrated that many of my friends will probably go to large, crowded events without any COVID precautions. I don't even really feel comfortable celebrating anything right now when the world is such a shit show.
But I also can't 100% ignore the FOMO. 
I want better options.

Happy Friday, #beer friends!
We're back with a thoughtful episode this week on all things #Sobercurious, from the much-improved range of non-alcoholic beers to mindful drinking; what do we do to be sure we're really 'moderate' in our habits, and what does that mean?
I've been following and also partaking in what some call #sobercurious with much interest, as people very close to me affected by #alcoholism. The UK is very much a drinking culture, but this article gives me hope that people, particularly the younger generation, are finding that #alcohol isn't necessary to socialise https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/20/sober-alcohol-consumption-britain-drinking-culture
Someone needs to make a list, perhaps on #OpenStreetMap, of all the pubs that have alcohol-free beer on tap. The last few trips to the pub, I've noticed more and more of my mates are drinking beers like Lucky Saint #sobercurious
