More than ever, people are starting to put down their glasses and opting for non-alcoholic drink options. We pour out the reasons behind this phenomenon by talking with a suburban low-alcohol bar owner, a Chicago-based dry bar owner who crowdfunded her community space and a woman who's pulling back and evaluating her drinking habits.
The bars mentioned in the episode can be found here:
Go Brewing (Naperville, IL; low & no-alcohol bar)
Bendicion Dry Bar (Chicago, Humboldt Park; dry bar & community space)
