While drinking may not be socially popular, mocktails are better for your gut and mental health. They ease stomach irritation and support nutrient absorption, colon health, and balance. Aside from the diversity of ingredients and flavors to enjoy, you’ll also experience less sugar and calories and less exposure to the ramifications of drunk driving.
