Kat and Helen are off on another adventure this episode, visiting Club Soda in London. Club Soda is a fantastic resource for those wanting to drink less or not at all: founded almost a decade ago by Laura Willoughby as a sort of non-drinking equivalent to Weight Watchers, a community for non-drinkers, former drinkers or those trying to cut down or cut out temporarily. As well as campaigning for better non-alcoholic options in all walks of life, Laura has established a business selling interesting non-alc drinks online and now set up a tasting room on Drury Lane in Covent Garden. It's a cool little bar full of no-alcohol and some low-alcohol options for anyone who wants to drink less or not at all. You name it and they probably have it; it's a bit of a dream come true for people like us. So we went along to talk to Laura about how things are changing, what she hopes for the future and whether you'll ever get a similar selection down at your own local pub or favourite restaurant.
