It's absolutely delicious! As a busy dad and business owner, avoiding a hangover the morning after a night of drinking is priceless.
Tell us about a moment where Surely has impacted you.
I stopped drinking in solidarity with my wife while she was pregnant. Being able to share in the joy that Surely gave her during that time was wonderful!
What are noticeable differences in your lifestyle that you feel are a result of not drinking or drinking less?
I’ve felt a noticeable energy boost with less drinking. That certainly helps balance obligations both at work and at home.
What's a common social stigma you've experienced while not drinking alcohol?
People assume that alcohol-free products must not taste good or can't be fun. The opposite is true!
At Boisson, we like sparking a curiosity in people who are new to the non-alcoholic space. Alcohol alternatives can be just as interesting and just as sophisticated.
How did you get interested in the Non-Alcoholic space?
I began trying different non-alcoholic products while my wife was pregnant. This was also during the pandemic, a time when many people were tired of drinking at home to cope with what was happening around them.
It became obvious to me that there was a growing number of people looking for high-quality alcohol alternatives.
