Non-Alcoholic Drinks - aiden15632 - 07-20-2024
I’m probably one of the few people on this planet who doesn't really enjoy beer. I tend to prefer cocktails and other mixed drinks. However, since I don’t want to consume alcohol every day, I often opt for non-alcoholic beverages instead.
I’m curious about what others drink non-alcoholically when visiting go-go bars, discos, and beer bars. What are some popular non-alcoholic options available in these venues? Is there a good variety on the menu, or are the choices fairly limited to the basics like soda, cola, Fanta, and Sprite?
When I go out, I look for refreshing and flavorful non-alcoholic options that can still enhance the nightlife experience. In some places, I’ve found interesting mocktails that mimic the taste and presentation of classic cocktails without the alcohol. These can be a great alternative, offering the same festive feel without the next-day hangover.
I’m also interested in trying non-alcoholic versions of popular drinks, like non-alcoholic beers or spirits. Have any of you tried these, and if so, how do they compare to their alcoholic counterparts?
Please share your favorite non-alcoholic beverages and any recommendations you might have for finding unique and delicious options at nightlife venues. Your suggestions will help me and others who prefer non-alcoholic drinks make the most of our nights out.

For the can pictured above, be sure to say Sweppes Soda Manao, then the staff will know better what you mean. Otherwise, there is soda in the bottle, as well as the cola range. Fanta in all possible colors is, at least for me, disgustingly sweet and really only drinkable with lots of ice to dilute it.
Before Verona, the 7/11 store had a yellow drinks can with I think chrysanthemum flavor. It was very tasty, but unfortunately I don't have a picture of it.

Tastes "fruity and lemony and fresh".
Must be cold!
It's rarely available in Germany.
In Thailand it's available at 7 Eleven and in restaurants, including the "Smurf Bar".

In some bars, but not all...
Less experienced Thais may not know Schweppes Manao Soda or may not understand exactly what you want.
Tip: Just show me my photo of the can to be sure!
(Otherwise you may be served a glass with some kind of - open - soda and a slice of lemon!)

It's all a matter of taste > and "open drinks" can pose "risks" that are not present with originally sealed bottles/cans. In addition, you get all the carbonation
