Or switch to things like non-alcoholic gin or other tinctures. I cut down my alcohol consumption last year to lose weight, but especially at the end of the day or with friends, I am so sick of just drinking water, i want something sparkly, ideally with an umbrella.

However, the alcohol free mocktails have been getting better and better, so while you won't get the buzz, you at least have something fancy.

To be honest, my biggest surprise was the non-alcoholic captain morgan, tasted like real nice aged rum and is fantastic with some ginger beer.

I really like NAs, but I think anything other than NA beer (and Phony Negroni) isn't there yet.

Though you have me intrigued about NA captain. I'll definitely look out for this!
