Zero Alcohol, Full Cheer: Make It the Only One for the Road This Christmas!

The festive season is here, packed with parties, family gatherings, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. If you’re planning to enjoy a drink, make sure you’ve planned ahead for a safe journey home. That could mean arranging a designated driver, booking a taxi, or even staying overnight.

Why does this matter? Alcohol slows reaction times and clouds judgment, making driving dangerous for you and everyone else on the road. There’s no universal “safe limit”— factors like body weight, food intake, and metabolism all play a role. What feels like “just one glass” for you could still put you over the limit.

And don’t forget the morning after. Alcohol can linger in your system for hours, sometimes well into the next day, leaving you over the legal limit without realising it. In Scotland, the law is clear:

Blood: 50 mg per 100 ml
Breath: 22 mcg per 100 ml
Urine: 67 mg per 100 ml

The only way to be certain? Skip the alcohol completely if you’re driving and try a Mocktail!

Mocktails are non-alcoholic mixed drinks meant to replicate cocktails, just without the alcohol. They can provide the same delicious taste as a cocktail, but without the headache the next morning, which is great news!

Whether you are the designated driver, a non-drinker or are simply looking for a new experience, mocktails create a great taste that is hard to beat.

Make alcohol-free the only one for the road this Christmas!
