Customer Story: Anna is sleeping better, feeling healthier, and enjoying social occasions with alcohol-free alternatives she genuinely loves.
Tell us about yourself?
Hi, I'm Anna. Mid-40s, active, social. I live by the coast and work in education.
What made you decide to reduce or stop drinking alcohol?
I've never been a big drinker, but I do enjoy a social drink or two, or a quiet beer at home after a long day.
However, I started to realise that my hangovers were getting longer, stronger, and I could end up feeling rubbish after only one drink – thanks perimenopause!
It was time for a change… me and alcohol needed a break.
What have you found to be the biggest benefits of not drinking alcohol?
I'm sleeping better. My body is feeling lighter, and I'm fitting into my clothes better.
What advice would you give to people who are "sober curious" or trying to cut back?
- Find nice fancy drinks :) so many alcohol free options are boring, and don't feel like the treat I'm looking for in a social situation or after-work wind-down. Having easy go-to options makes choosing alcohol free so much easier!
- Find a support network. Share what you're trying to do and why – you might find you have other 'sober curious' people in your crew. Set up a messenger group, share your wins (and mistakes) and normalise taking a break from alcohol.
What role has elta ego played in your journey?
Elta Ego are my go-to easy, fancy drink. They're super tasty without being full of sugar or fake-tasting sweeteners.
The Negroni especially hits the spot - I've introduced a number of my friends to it, and it often turns up at social occasions.
