Swap binge drinking for a gaming night, hit the OJ instead of the pints and swerve the nightclub for a night at the cinema.
There are also lots of great alcohol-free wines, cocktails, beers and gins available if you still fancy a nightcap without the naughty. Simple swaps make it easier to go alcohol-free!
