One of the many things that makes me happy is when I get press releases about where to go out and drink attractive and innovative nonalcoholic drinks.  Doesn’t matter if it’s in my city or across the world; I appreciate the increased normalization of nondrinking. So I was excited to get this intel on Florida Dry January.
