Here’s what we’d do
Choose an activity people would enjoy on its own and state that alcohol is not part of this plan. Offer appealing drink choices without asking anyone to explain why they are not drinking.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Set up the plan
Agree on a home activity or suitable venue and check any required purchases before inviting people.
- Together
Give the activity room
Start the activity promptly so the evening has a shared focus beyond ordering drinks.
- A good ending
Finish without pressure
Keep any later stop separate and optional, with no pressure to change the agreed format.
Choose your version
A few things to know
Chosen activity and drink costs agreed first
Chosen activity and drink costs agreed first. This is a suggested spending arrangement, not a current price quote. Agree on the total and any contributions before anyone buys supplies or commits to a venue.
Is this your kind of plan?
A daytime coffee or walk. Often a smaller time commitment, but may not fit evening-only schedules.
- Confirm the venue or host can support the alcohol-free plan and everyone's comfort needs.
- Confirm the headcount, date, and finish time before making purchases or reservations.
Choose the version that fits
A daytime coffee or walk. Often a smaller time commitment, but may not fit evening-only schedules.
Make the link useful
Agree on a home activity or suitable venue and check any required purchases before inviting people. Include the date, start and finish, meeting point or call link, and the spending arrangement. The suggested duration is a starting point you can change.
Keep a good idea
Good idea. Maybe later?
Save it for your people, or choose when to revisit it.

Good questions
Should we ask why someone is not drinking?
No. Plan around the stated preference without making personal explanations part of the link.
What should we confirm before making this definite?
Confirm the venue or host can support the alcohol-free plan and everyone's comfort needs. Agree on a home activity or suitable venue and check any required purchases before inviting people.
