The non-alcoholic beverage market is booming, with craft breweries and restaurants innovating to create delicious and healthier alternatives to traditional alcoholic drinks. Explore the potential health benefits, growing popularity, and future of this exciting industry.
At one time, the world of non-alcoholic drinks was limited to a few dusty old cans of O’Doul’s sitting in the back fridge of your local bar. But more recently, the genre has exploded. Craft beer companies are bending the basic tenets of chemistry in an effort to make non-alcoholic IPAs, stouts, and other styles that more closely resemble their boozy cousins. And restaurants are crafting mocktails that focus on flavor specifically tailored to a lack of alcohol.
All of this comes at a time when young people are seemingly drinking less than young people did in previous generations. When it comes to a comparison between drinking alcohol in excess, the answers seem obvious and numerous. You can drink and drive on non-alcoholic beer and it’s unlikely to harm pregnancy. But there haven’t been many studies on actual health benefits of non-alcoholic drinks. Some of these potential benefits include the prevention of oxidative stress due to the antioxidants, helping blood and artery function, and lowering the potential of clotting.“This effect cannot be solely attributed to alcohol content, since the polyphenol content in conventional beer tends to be higher than that found in non-alcoholic beer,” the researchers wrote in the study. Further studies are needed to learn more about the possible benefits of non-alcoholic beer. But, according to the evidence the researchers could find, “The best option for cardiovascular health is probably a combination of non-alcoholic beer intake (instead of conventional beer) together with the inclusion of olive oil in the diet and increased physical activity,” compared to drinking alcoholic beer. Aside from this, unlike alcohol, which can cause dehydration, drinks without booze can help keep your liquid levels high. But at least one study notes that due to sugar and other potential things in many of these drinks, plain old water is still likely better. The exception to this could be sparkling, non-alcoholic seltzer
