and knock back a few pints. But I've been here for three days and haven't had a drop. I did go into one pub, and when they didn't have any NA beer on tap, I just left.

Monday

I was driving so I needed to avoid alcohol this recent trip to England. Every pub, bar, or restaurant seemed to have non-alcoholic options for beer and wine. A couple of the local products were very good.

Good luck and enjoy your trip.

I think I'll just skip the pubs. No biggie.
