As July approaches, so does the Dry July challenge, which encourages you to go alcohol-free for a month, while raising funds for cancer patients and their families across Australia. The money raised goes towards cancer support organisations, improving patient comfort, care, and overall wellbeing.
By taking part in the challenge, you’ll not only be helping others, but helping yourself too. Taking a break from alcohol for a month has heaps of health benefits, like better sleep, increased energy levels, and of course, avoiding hangovers and the dreaded Sunday scaries.
So, why not give it a go this July? To help you embark on your alcohol-free journey, we’ve listed our top picks of some of South Australia’s best non-alcoholic drinks. These delicious and healthy drinks are fantastic alternatives to your usual drink of choice.
