Reply to comment by jonishay8 in How NYC nightlife is getting in the sober spirit with alcohol-free bars by exgalactic

I’ve been bartending in fine dining for 25 years. I’m sure you know better lol. Non alcoholic cocktails are on every menu. Ten years ago it was unheard of. Now go away

Every cocktail is a mocktail without alcohol added to it? What a groundbreaking take. Asian population growing in nyc and not drinking much? Even more groundbreaking. Gtfo

Just so you know. Statistics and research show that Asian populations in the US are overwhelmingly lower rates of drinking than other ethnicities and are at the bottom for alcohol consumption. So when they say Asian populations in the US don’t drink as much, that is true.

Here’s just a few studies

I don’t know why the hostility. I’ve never been a drinker and I’m so stoked bars and restaurants are finally including non alcoholic options. It always seems so stupid to me not to at least think of pregnant women or designated drivers at the very least.

Making a blanket statement about literally billions of people is nonsense.
