Not drinking has become more socially accepted than ever before. I, Malu, haven’t been a heavy drinker since my teenage years. I started young but closed that chapter a long time ago.
As someone who rarely drank, people often asked if I was pregnant when I declined alcohol. Luckily, times have changed, and now there are many alcohol alternatives, making it easier to drink more consciously.
I do enjoy the occasional drink, but until two years ago, I didn’t. In fact, I didn’t touch alcohol for years until one particular morning.
Yes, it was a morning. I was living in Los Angeles, and as I opened my fridge to see if I had anything left, I spotted a can of kombucha. I used to love starting my day with kombucha, getting those probiotics in first thing.
I drank the entire can on an empty stomach and continued with my morning routine. But while I was meditating, I noticed I was feeling a little tipsy, which confused me. Was I tired? Hungry? I carried on with my day, heading out to Malibu.
When I was packing my bag, I glanced at the can again and noticed the tiny word “hard” above the large letters of kombucha. I finally realized I had started my day with alcohol!
Luckily, I felt completely fine—nothing like how alcohol usually affected me. I managed to get everything done that day with just a slight buzz.
That experience got me thinking about conscious drinking. Conscious drinking is all about being mindful of what we consume, choosing beverages that align with a balanced, healthier lifestyle. Enter hard kombucha—a refreshing alternative that not only offers a buzz but also comes packed with probiotics and natural ingredients.
With lower alcohol content than most traditional drinks, it allows you to enjoy social occasions while staying connected to your body and well-being. Embrace mindful sipping, savoring each moment without compromising flavor or health.
For our official opening event, I wanted to offer alcohol in a conscious way for those who wanted it. After a long search for hard kombucha in the Netherlands, I finally discovered Rudy's Kombucha.
As a kombucha lover, I’ve tried many, but this one is a team favorite. Their flavors are unique and delicious, and if you’re someone who isn’t obsessed with alcohol, you’ll absolutely love this.
So put your silver hoop earrings in on a Friday night, invite your friends and have a blast with your friends and wake up refreshed with a happy bowel.
