About

One day I just stopped drinking. I think my body just had enough.

I became interested in the available options for alcohol alternatives, and through my research, I discovered a wonderful and growing sector. The coverage was fragmented, so I decided to compile everything—focusing primarily on the business aspect—and turn it into a newsletter.

Hope you enjoy following this nascent space as much as I do!
