alternative to alcoholic drink

[261252]

my favorite is non alcoholic beer. Mix with regular beer you have a low alcoholic drink that tastes as good as any beer


kava kava can be made as a tea. I find it relaxing and takes away that need for alcohol. Be careful to use only warm tea as hot water destroys the ingredients


kratom is used as a opium substitute so use with caution. It is legal in Canada but not usa. Buy it on the net,

I find it relaxing when you listen to music but can also make you sociable


My latest drink is amazing. It is cacao. The stuff that makes chocolate. Buy pure cocoa bars, not the powder as they took the butter out of it, smoothie blend it with warm water and cayenne powder until bubbles form on top. the more and bigger the bubbles the better as this means drink has been oxygenated. Add whatever you want to lose bitter taste such as strawberries. Drink one cup then cup of water then repeat until full

do this on empty stomach and you will feel a love high like MDMA. They have cacao ceremonies then ecstatic dance in the rainforest


I have also read about but not tried the following


Kvass is a fermented beverage that is made from rye bread . It is a sweet, dark-colored beverage that is enjoyable



cbd is marijuana oil without thc. You can buy it in sodas It is a relaxant


Kanna
Kanna is a plant native to Southern Africa. It’s mainly used for its mood-enhancing and euphoria-inducing effects. Vice calls it nature’s MDMA.

It has been used in rituals and healing ceremonies for centuries. As with many alternatives to alcohol on this list, there can be downsides, so talk to a professional before trying this one. Also, it’s not incredibly well-studied, but it does appear to be as safe or safer than alcohol consumption at least.

How about water?

 

[richaceg]

There are cannabis infused drinks @ OCS.ca...but not that much kick to it...

Here is the recipe for cacao. Use paste, it works better:

Can You Get High From Cacao?

Yes and no. The details matter.

the bars I use are cacoa paste. They are called paste but are in solid bar shapes

Oxygen is the fourth ingredient not mentioned

A smoothie maker will produce bubbles on top the more bubbles the better too much blending and there will be no bubbles

cayenne does some chemical magic to the paste and drink water to wash the cacao down

a strict diet of no coffee, alcohol or Tabaco for a few days enhances the trip


I am puzzled why this type of party is not common as everything is legal


I do not see why you could not mix it with MDMA as M mixes well with everything except alcohol and antidepressants

ecstatic dancing around the camp fire while playing drum music or waltzing or just laying back and listening to spiritual music should make for a great party along with food at the end with a lot of love and conversation

beats drinking at your cottage weekend party


why not a cacao love ceremony wedding instead of traditional square wedding where people hug on the dance floor?

I enjoy tea.
Never understood the appeal of alcohol or coffee!

Anyone big on kefir or kombucha?

fermented foods like kefir are healthy for digestion but kombucha I have my doubts

What do you mean by fourth ingredient?? You dont actually add oxygen do you??
Or do you mean the more bubbles the more oxygen you add??

How long do you blend it for?? And is there a hangover effect like there is with MDMA??

You add air through blending

with a smoothie maker i put in cacao and cayenne then add hot but not boiling water


let it sit for a minute so cocao melts then blend on high for a few sec then take a look for bubbles on top

if not a lot of bubbles do it again

experience will guide you

sometimes you go the other way with the drink like you can with mdma

stop drinking and have some food so you come down quicker

mdma does not have a hangover with a proper diet ie no caffeine alcohol or Tabaco but do not overconsume

Personally I enjoy a good ginger ale mixed with a fruit juices. Never been big into alcoholic beverages. I will order wine for my providers and I have been known to bring them a bottle of scotch or gin. I like to be in control of my experiences vs drugs or alcoholic drinks. I know a few of my providers do not appreciate the fact I am not a drinker.

Not a fan of coffee or alcohol either. My weakness is a cold Coca Cola poured in a glass that I keep in the freezer.

Sounds like your providers have the problem not you.

 

[Zoot Allures]

they also have non alcohol wine which is getting better as market grows and now non alcohol gin

there is no kick or after taste like alcohol but they will figure it out

i imagine they will figure out how to induce an altered alcohol state without alcohol or drunkenness

it is a matter of chemistry

IMHO the cure to alcoholism is not getting people to stop drinking but give them a safer alternative but that is not the direction our society has taken

i am not sure why as there seems big $ to be made

 

[Big Rig]

I am gonna try kvass

It is very nutritious and can have 1 -2 % alcohol

It has an acquired taste but some love it

Make it yourself and the fermentation process can raise alcohol but at 2% that is half of beer

"Nostrovia" is russian for cheers

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

WTF is kvass??

 

[Ref]

My favorite is water flavored water. I love to take a glass full of ice and water then add the water flavored water to it.

You swear you are drinking pure water!

Ok, I gotta try this cocoa thing. Who knew?

I like tea. I think quality loose leaf, especially oolong can put you in a really good mood. For some reason I find that making it too strong makes the mood lifting effects go away. I use about a teaspoon per cup, rather than the recommended tablespoon. When I'm not in the mood for tea, rooibos tea is nice. There's a ton of other herbal alternatives - ginger and turmeric, chamomile, chrysanthemum, rosehip and many others. Check your local Asian supermarket. Though none of these have any effects on mood, I just drink them for the flavor and digestive benefits.

Kvas is definitely an acquired taste. The stuff you buy in stores is more like flavored soda pop than the real thing. You can make it yourself, it's not that difficult. You need to roast some rye bread, add sugar and yeast and warm water and let it sit for a couple days. Recipes are out there.

Yerba mate can give you quite a buzz, it has a lot of caffeine, and I like the ritual of it. It's a social drink in Argentina/Uruguay. Some find the taste off-putting. Again, the bottled stuff in stores has little to do with the real thing. However, I recommend "Club Mate" as an energy drink alternative. I've resorted to it in dance clubs and was able to keep going the whole night, without feeling jittery.

As for coffee, I really like cold brew. A lot of people drink it cold which makes no sense to me. Just because it's brewed cold, doesn't mean you can't heat it up and enjoy it warm. It's so smooth, no sugar or cream is needed. Though to be fair I drink even drip coffee without sugar or cream.

WTF is kvass??

Fermented bread. Like beer, the sugars are turned into alcohol. The longer it ferments the more alcohol

It is a popular russain drink
