Soft drinks have come a long way since the days of having to choose between a club soda or an O’Doul’s.
Why is this important: Sales of non-alcoholic alternatives increased by 33% nationally from October 2020 to October 2021. They total $331 million.
- 78% of people who buy non-alcoholic options also buy alcoholic beverages.

- A six-pack of non-alcoholic beers essentially costs the same as a craft beer.
