‘Sober Curious’ Lifestyle (1)

Hey, Tim. We haven’t grabbed a drink together for some time now. Do you want to catch up over some beers?
Not a bad idea, Kyohei. But I’ve got something even cooler in mind. I found a nice sober bar in the Village. It’s got this witchy tea parlor vibe and draws in such an interesting crowd. How about going to the next monthly meet-up for a “sober curious” group?
Oh, I’m sorry. Have you given up alcohol?
At the moment. I’ve been rolling with the sober curious gang since Dey January, just as a personal experiment. I don’t know how long I’ll stick with it, but at least until Sober October. In honor of Drynuary, as I like to call it, I explored some of New York City’s new sober bars, mocktail lounges and liquor-free pop-up parties.
Hold on, Tim. Sober bars and sober curious? I’m lost.
Sober curious is this lifestyle where you either cut back on alcohol or ditch it entirely, driven by curiosity about the sober life. It started gaining traction among Millennials in the late 2010s and has become increasingly popular in recent years.
Yeah, being sober curious means questioning every impulse to imbibe, instead of seeing alcohol as a routine or a crutch. Reevaluation our drinking habits for mental or physical health.

Haste in every business brings failures.
