Patrons in a licensed venue must be offered non-alcoholic drinks instead of alcoholic beverages when they are intoxicated, according to Responsible Service of Alcohol laws.

Why are Non-Alcoholic Mocktails Healthier than Alcohol?

1) Mocktails typically contain far fewer calories than cocktails. A typical cocktail contains around 200-250 calories, while most mocktails contain between 50 and 100 calories

2) Most mocktails are sugar-free. This is because most mixers (such as sodas and juices) used in mocktails are already sweetened, so there’s no need to add additional sugar.
