I drink stuff for flavor. I never really got into the whole idea of doing stuff that makes life more dangerous for myself so I adore mocktails. Thanks for doing this straightedge stuff!
@@TikiWithRay Yay!! I fell in love with tiki as a kid at Disneyland in the 60's (when there was a lot more cool animatronics in the outdoor waiting area) hence I do not associate it with alcholic partying. I want the vibe I loved as a 5yo on an adventure and loving that the Straight Edge series helps me odd to the ways I can tap into that again. :)
Rob Cornish just turned me on to your channel. I think you can totally do Dry Tiki. Seems to me the essence of Tiki drinks are exotic fruit juices, interesting garnishes and cool Tiki mugs and glasses. With those fun things, you won’t miss the alcohol.
I guess it’s reassuring that I don’t have a drinking problem when going a week or even a month without drinking isn’t a challenge, but just something that happens sometimes.
What’s the point? Why should I challenge myself? It isn’t really tiki without exotic cocktails. Mocktails are fine for designated drivers and those that can’t have alcohol. If you don’t want to drink alcohol then don’t, just don’t pretend.

It's been almost a year now since I've drank alcohol and I hardly miss it and I love Tiki just as much if not more now!
