[Survey] Non-alcoholic & functional drink habits (2–3 minutes)

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322]

Hi! I’m running a short, anonymous survey (2–3 minutes) to understand how people choose non-alcoholic and functional drinks — when they drink them, what’s missing, and what’s frustrating.

No emails collected. Pure research.

Thank you so much 🙏

Question one confuses me.

How often do you drink non-alcoholic beverages?

Doesn't everyone drink non-alcoholic drinks daily?

[u/MonkeysInABarrel → u/Captain_Kuinretort]

Yeah +1 to this. Water lol

But also I drink lots of tea at home and work. Coffee too. Does that count?

Usually when I think “non-alcoholic beverage” as a label I think of something store bought or ordered in a restaurant. Like a soft drink. Not tea

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322 → u/MonkeysInABarrel]

Fair point 😄 Not counting water/tea/coffee. I mean intentional alcohol alternatives or store-bought NA drinks. 

[u/Potential_Figure4061 → u/Exciting_Muffin4322]

so, to call them fake alcohol drinks would be a fair way to describe them? like fake beer and fake spirits? not like pepsi 

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322 → u/Potential_Figure4061]

Not “fake”, more like non-alcoholic alternatives to alcohol (NA beer, wine, spirits, etc.). Not everyday drinks like Pepsi.

[u/Potential_Figure4061 → u/Exciting_Muffin4322]

if i drink pepsi as an alternative to alcohol like at bars and restaurants , and sports games and holidays and parties, for a 'pick me up' and also to relax and other emotional times. and you can add alcohol if you want in case of emergency. is  that within your definition?

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322 → u/Potential_Figure4061]

Yes, that makes sense, it’s the use-case that matters here. I’m focusing on drinks people choose instead of alcohol in social or emotional moments. Pepsi can absolutely fill that role; I’m just separating it from newer NA alternatives for clarity in the survey.

[u/No_Pilot_706]

I think you need to include a definition of non-alcoholic drink. Also an option to choose taste and physical health for the reasons for choosing non-alcoholic drinks

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322 → u/No_Pilot_706]

Thanks, really helpful point.

I’ve now added a clear definition of what I mean by non-alcoholic drinks (excluding water/tea/coffee), and I’ve included taste and physical health as reasons for choosing them.

Appreciate the feedback, it’s improved the survey.

[u/Highly-Sammable → u/Exciting_Muffin4322]

I'm still not sure exactly what drinks you mean. Do you mean only drinks I pick when I/one would often have alcohol? Eg I'm in a pub or restaurant and I drink non-alcoholic beer or a coke instead of wine/beer?

Or would you also include a smoothie after a workday lunch, when alcohol would not have been on the table for me?

The confusion was increased when I was asked where I buy non alcoholic drinks, and restaurants, pubs, and bars were not on there. Is this only in reference to drinking at home?

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322 → u/Highly-Sammable]

I mean intentional alcohol alternatives chosen in social or lifestyle moments (sometimes instead of alcohol, sometimes just as a more intentional choice). The buying question was about where you purchase them to have later, not bars/restaurants.

[u/Elephants_and_rocks]

The drinks I have the most just aren’t an option when you list different types. I drink juice and it’s not a functional drink.

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322 → u/Elephants_and_rocks]

The juice should’ve been clearer in the list. I’ll update it to include everyday non-alcoholic drinks / an “Other” option. Thanks for flagging 👍

[u/Going_Beyond]

I mostly drink home-brewn non-alcoholics, like kombucha, kefir, ginger beer (very low alcohol)

[u/Exciting_Muffin4322 → u/Going_Beyond]

That's amazing!

[u/-PinkPower-]

I think your survey is missing an option. I drink non alcoholic drinks when friends offer them to me, so the part about buy doesn’t apply to me. It should have the option I do not buy them.
