It's not about what's in the glass - it's about being present in the moment and having fun. At it’s more common than ever to hear someone say, “I’m not drinking tonight.” Whether it’s for health, clarity, or simply preference, many are choosing a lifestyle that skips the alcohol (for a day or a month or a lifetime).

But let’s be real: Diet Coke gets old...like really fast. 🍋✨ I love the new that are kicking the mocktail up a few notches. From sparkling waters to zero-proof cocktails, the options are growing, and social moments are evolving. So, here’s to normalizing sober moments and making all choices feel included. 🥂

Before we wrap up 2021, we have one more story that inspires. This fall, the Red Cross was asked to care for evacuees from Afghanistan arriving at U.S. military bases. More than 800 volunteers answered the call to help, including our own Erica Santella. This is her story, in her own words ➡️ rdcrss.org/3mBxSo4
