If giving up alcohol for a bit seems really boring, or square, or even scary, I hear you. Those were my first thoughts when a friend told me she was sober curious and thinking about going dry. Then I saw her come out on the other side with a clearer mind, better mood, and looking younger than ever. I knew I had to try it.
My secret to healthier hydration habits? Cirkul water.
Let me tell you more.
How to Have Fun While Drinking Water
Pair Your Sober Goals With Another Goal
There are tons of delicious non-alcoholic drinks out there—mocktails, non-alcoholic beer, plain old soda. But I was determined to go about staying dry in a way that wouldn’t in turn sabotage my fitness goals. That left me with pretty much one option: water. Daunting, no? That is until you consider that Cirkul has over 50 flavors to choose from, and they contain no calories, no sugar, and no artificial colors. It's almost impossible to run out of options - the Cirkul team even comes out with a new Limited Sip every month!
Poppin’ Bottles
The flavor cartridges—or “Sips”—fit into a specific Cirkul lid, which is made with a patented one-way valve that prevents the flavor to flow back into the bottle. Not having to worry that your water bottle will be tinged with leftover flavor is huge, right? The lid fits on Cirkul’s 4 sizes of bottles - 12 oz, 22 oz, 32 oz, and the brand new 42 oz - and comes in either BPA-free plastic or stainless steel.
While you improve yourself, you’ll be pumped to hear that using Cirkul cartridges can reduce your plastic waste by up to 84%.
Fizzy or Flat, But Flavorful Either Way
What you fill your bottle with is up to you! Flat water, sparkling water, heck, reverse osmosis water, or deionized water. If it’s water, it works with Cirkul cartridges, and depending on the size of your water bottle, the flavor can last between 4-11 refills.
Way More Affordable Than Alcohol
Feel better and save money? Cirkul's Sips costs $3.75 each and flavors about 132 ounces of water (that’s about 6 medium-sized bottles or about $0.60 per drink). Even accounting for the bottle, which ranges from $12-$35, you're going to have so much extra cash to spend.
Ready to Try?
After a month of sober curiosity, I'm sure that Cirkul can keep things interesting enough to be my main drink. With an alternative like this, I’m going to keep it going. You should try it too.
