I'm insulin dependent, so sweeter mocktails aren't as good for me. I've come to liking NA beer as it blends in socially. I focus on being ready to drive when I talk about it as it was never about recovery for myself. My coed fraternity from college had a reunion and I pushed the NA beer and clearly labeled mocktails and we made an effort to court and support some who are in recovery. I feel that might have helped others.
