11 things more fun than drinking alcohol

A nice evening with friends and a glass of wine, a cold beer after work or simply the usual drink on the sofa - for many people, alcohol is part of their leisure activities. Anyone who wants to reduce their alcohol consumption or stop drinking altogether must create pleasant and positive leisure experiences without alcohol.

1. Just go for a walk (with friends)

Fresh air is good for your body and mind! It helps reduce your stress levels, improves your mood, strengthens your concentration and ensures a good night's sleep. Do the benefits sound familiar? In fact, the positive effects are similar to those of giving up alcohol. So why not combine both!? Try it out!

2. Sport, Sport, Sport

Sport is not only a good distraction, it also promotes your physical well-being. When you are physically active, you feel more energetic and fitter! It also helps you to stay active and keep your hands off alcohol. Sport is THE energy booster! And with Laori you can reward yourself after your workout in a pleasurable way - alcohol-free and sugar-free, of course. What's stopping you?

3. Read our magazine

4. Watch the documentary: "The Global Rush"

Alcohol is the most widely used legal drug in the world and entire industries profit from this stimulant. The film shows who benefits from the business of this intoxicating drink.

5. Improve cooking and baking skills
