The red neck that I am I saw everything as if it wasn't a beer then it must be a shot.
Put a mixed drink or wine in my hand and I'd slam it.
Today its seltzer for me, flavored, lime, plain don't care too much. Even before I stopped drinking it was my soft drink of choice. I kept it then and still keep it in my fridge at home.
It has that refreshing sort of kick. Sometimes I get talking to buzzed people and the thought of whether I'm drinking or not isn't on my mind. I'm just me in a conversation and enjoying a refreshing beverage. It feels great when I stop to realize wow, I don't NEED alchohol!
