So much of our culture of socialization is centered around bars, and that’s a dangerous thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good beverage\u2014but the assumption that drinking alcohol goes hand-in-hand with being social is one that leads to all sorts of bad things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, we’re seeing a growing movement of gatherings and even physical spaces that are not just offering non-alcoholic options, but going anti-booze altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such example: Listen Bar, a pop-up bar in Williamsburg that has put together a tremendously impressive branding campaign around their temporary space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To break the bond between going out and drinking alcohol is no small task, but for a growing number of people who want to be social without all of the consequences of drinking this can be a dream come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential negative consequences of drinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
