The World Health Organization says that there’s no safe amount of alcohol, which is linked to a slew of health concerns.

Drinking also leaves you dehydrated, which can exacerbate that hungover feeling you get when you’ve had one too many.

While the “sober curious” movement is growing, there are other reasons why you might want to order something besides alcohol.

Many sodas like Coke and Diet Coke contain caffeine.

Too much caffeine comes with side effects like increased heart rate and anxiety.

Alternative to soda and alcohol is sparkling water spruced up with fresh juice, fruit or herbs like mint or rosemary.

Subbing soda in for booze once in a while is a good way to cut back on alcohol intake.
