My Personal Story With Nowadays.

What’s The Better Way to Drink Without the Hangover?
How I Stumbled Into Something Refreshingly Different

“I didn’t want to stop going out. I just wanted to stop feeling awful the next morning.”

Friday nights, rooftop happy hours, girls’ nights in. I’ve always loved the ritual of drinking. The laughter, the clink of glasses, the buzz of connection.
But here’s the reality: the aftermath was ruining the fun. Hangovers hit harder in your 20s when you’ve got early meetings, weekend trips, or workouts you actually want to make.
Then came my first sip of Nowadays. I expected something flat or fake (like other “healthy” alternatives I’d tried). Instead, it was crisp, refreshing, and surprisingly… fun.

Nowadays isn’t here to replace alcohol, it’s here to give you options.

“From late-night laughs to early-morning yoga, Nowadays fits my lifestyle.”

The Benefits I Noticed Almost Instantly

What blew me away about Nowadays wasn’t just the taste, it was how it made me feel.

  • No Hangovers.
    No bad mornings. Just me present, energized, and brunch-ready.

  • Light & Social.
    It gave me that “I’m in the moment” vibe.

  • Refreshing Taste.
    Crisp fruit flavors, not too sweet, not too flat, just right.

  • Versatile.
    Sip it straight over ice, or mix it into a mocktail. It fits in anywhere.

“The biggest compliment I can give is this: Nowadays doesn’t feel like a compromise. It feels like an upgrade.”

My Honest Review

Here’s the thing: I still drink alcohol sometimes. I’m not against it. I love a spicy margarita on taco night or champagne on my birthday. But I’ve realized I don’t always want alcohol.
Some nights, I just want the ritual of a drink in my hand, the buzz of being part of the group, and the fun energy that comes with it, without paying for it the next day.
That’s what makes Nowadays feel like freedom. It’s not about saying no to alcohol. It’s about saying yes to yourself.

“Girls’ night in just got an upgrade. cheers to Nowadays!”

How I Enjoy Nowadays Best

Over the past few months, I’ve tried Nowadays in every situation you can imagine. And let me tell you, it works for all of them.

  • At Home – After work, I’ll pour a glass over ice with a slice of lime. It’s the perfect “wind-down” drink.

  • Girls’ Night In – We’ve had so much fun making mocktails with Nowadays. One of my favorites is mixing it with frozen pineapple and coconut cream for a tropical colada vibe. My friends who still drink alcohol even admit they love it.

  • Parties & Pregames – Instead of showing up with a bottle of wine, I’ll bring a pack of Nowadays. It’s always a conversation starter, and honestly, people get excited to try something new.

  • Weekends Away – Nothing kills a weekend trip faster than being hungover. Nowadays is my hack for staying present, having fun, and still waking up ready for hikes, brunch, or shopping.

Why This Matters for Me (and Probably You, Too)

Being in my 20s, I’ve noticed how much our generation is rethinking the way we drink. We want balance. We want fun, but we also want wellness, presence, and control.

Nowadays feels like it was made for that exact mindset. It’s not about rules, it’s about options. It’s about

“yes, I can still sip on something exciting, still laugh and feel buzzy with my friends. But I can also wake up tomorrow feeling great.”

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, Nowadays isn’t about changing who you are or what you do, it’s about making your nights (and mornings) better. It’s about saying yes to fun, yes to flavor, and yes to waking up the next day feeling like yourself.
For me, it’s become more than just a drink. It’s a choice I feel good about, a ritual I look forward to, and honestly, a little life hack for staying balanced while still living fully.
So if you’re like me, someone who loves being social but hates the side effects. Maybe it’s time to give Nowadays a try.
