Let’s drink to a sober revolution

A recent report published by the World Health Organisation outlines that alcohol consumption in Russia dropped by more than 40% since the early 2000s and statistics published by the UK’s Office for National Statistics in 2018 said that drinking rates among British adults have plunged to their lowest in 18 years.

“I thought maybe a mindful drinking festival over here would be a good idea so I contacted a buddy of mine and we started doing some informal research and started speaking to some producers and suppliers.” After doing initial research, O’Connor says they received an overwhelmingly positive response to the idea of having a mindful drinking festival.

Stephen Hickmore, the man behind So-Bar, describes himself as someone who is “sober curious”. With the motto “party like there is a tomorrow”, So-Bar was started a year ago and is a mobile, full zero-alcohol bar with options including gin, cocktails, beer, wine and sparkling wine. The person behind these nonalcoholic offerings that Hickmore keeps stocked in his bar is Jacqueline Grobler, the founder, owner and distiller at Angel Heart Beverages.
