“Shaken, Not Slurred” has become the mantra for some New Yorkers, as booze-free cocktails boost their spirits during the pandemic

Just in time for the holidays—it’s New York City’s first zero-proof liquor store. Or as owner Douglas Watters has it, “booze-free bottle shop.” It’s a store stocked with fancy drinks that won’t get you drunk.

“A lot of people come in and are confused about what in the world is this, and why would I want this?” Mr. Watters said when I met him at Spirited Away, the Lower East Side storefront he opened mid-November.

alcohol is a scam

This is the low point of 2020.

It continues to amaze me that people think by removing their mask when sitting down (to eat/share a meal) indoors that they are still following guidance because they are sitting. They are not following guidance especially when tables & chairs have not been adjusted for distance!

“Shaken, Not Slurred” has become the mantra for some New Yorkers...namely white Manhattan liberal women who weren’t born in New York.

oxymoronic

This isn’t a thing.

Booze cocktails? Really?

Yeah sure....

This is media BS. Not happening

Dafuq is this? has become the mantra of WSJ readers.

what is this nonsense you say...

This is one of the weirdest headlines I've seen today.

Sometimes just having fun and being happy heals the body faster than feeling sad, angry, or stressed out.

What is this?

LyresSpiritCo

Can confirm: nobody is doing this. People drink. Some don't. Nobody is having fake drinks or shots.

Alcohol is much better, much better.

Fake news.

The stupidest shit ive ever seen. No one is doing this.

Is WSJ satirical now?

Women tipsy, the ridiculous scene

Tone deaf title while millions are jobless and depressed. The lockdowns and limitations are more damaging than anything

How unfortunate. Nothing like drinking the best weapons of an inferior species while they try desperately to figure out what happened

Muslims and Christians have number of countries to live. Hindu only has Hindustan( india) Already a part given to muslims as Pakistan. Now who ever muslim has a problem with Indian constitution, indian courts, indian democratically elected PM He must go to designated Pakistan.

Just a shot full of bitters n sweets ? Might as well have a shot of McDonald's Ice Tea.

What’s the point

Just another way to take away your freedom...next up, can’t travel from state to state with special permission, or “papers” to “limit spread of Corona”...hmm, where have I heard this before?

They're called mocktails

Next up: Decaffeinated coffee and sex with all your clothes on.

kbnoswag and DonnieDoesWorld already covered this months ago

“sales nearly doubled after the New Year thanks to the growing “Dry January” trend, which had people snapping up the venue’s $13 “Ginger Spice” mocktails.”

This is dumb as shit.

The audacity of educated white women knows no bounds.

Sheep

How dare you steal my Utah culture from me

Seems like a total waste of fucking time

Lol what is this garbage article. Do better journal

So is this saying that it's OK to go out and drink non alcoholic beverages in a closed space with friends, but not drink alcoholic beverages?.. So you're implying alcohol gives you Corona virus?

Oohhh what fun!

tis an oxymoron

Spirits are Not high in New York City, that's a Lie

That's what I said to my date last Saturday.

wow

anti-Marxismlist! On my opinion, the human society is running on these: 1 Technology define theoretical economic aggregate 2 Work define gross economy 3 Finance system define distribution of wealth from gross economy

I ain’t paying more than $2 for a drink with no booze in it
