Share the best explanations you've given for going alcohol-free or drinking a bit less to WIN matinée tickets for New Year's Festival Dublin! From time to time, we all choose not to drink alcohol on a night out but with this decision comes questions like, “Why aren’t you drinking?”. We've all been there, scrambling for an answer or explanation as to why we're not drinking alcohol on a night out. In fact, new research from Heineken® 0.0 revealed that over 40% of people feel the need to give a false reason as to why they’re not drinking at social events. Equally, over half of Irish people surveyed admitted to skipping nights out altogether to avoid questions around why they're choosing not to drink. And these kinds of scenarios are even more common over the festive period, as our evenings and weekends are filled with Christmas catch-ups, work parties and festive nights out with friends and family. Unsurprisingly, Heineken® 0.0's research showed that over half of Irish people feel an increased pressure to drink alcohol over the festive season, no doubt leading to more questions for anyone looking to reach for a 0.0 option.
