Mocktails are on the rise! These cocktail alternatives have become increasingly popular as more people decide to cut alcohol out of their diets. Whether you are participating in Dry January, pregnant, or looking to decrease your alcohol intake, mock-cocktails provide healthy alternatives to popular beverages.
Why Should You Decrease Your Alcohol Intake?
Aside from quitting smoking, a healthy diet is the most effective way to reduce one’s risk of cancer. Worldwide research studies over many years indicate roughly 30-40% of cancer diagnoses could be prevented by modest diet and lifestyle changes.
Per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States. Unfortunately, less than half of Americans realize the risk. In early 2025, the U.S. Surgeon General recommended alcoholic beverages come with cancer risk warnings similar to tobacco products.
