Being able to drive home from social events was the most common reason for people trying 'low and no' drinks, with 33% of the 2,079 UK adults in the survey citing this as a factor. Other motivations ranged from reducing hangovers to concern about longer-term health risks, as well as wanting to socialise without drinking to excess. If you did choose low or no alcohol drinks, why?
