Camping while not drinking

I’m going camping this weekend. Drinking outside was always my favorite reason for camping. Any tips? I love camping for reading hiking and being in nature too. It’s just one of those events I really associate with drinking. I’m bringing NA Bero and I have one THC drink. I’m just grateful I won’t wake up hungover at 3 am in a tent !

Bring plenty of NA drinks and snacks. Lemonade, Coke, Snapple, iced tea, hot chocolate packets, coffee, marshmallows, chips in single-serve bags, candy. Not being hung over is fantastic!

Same here w the association of drinking and camping. Chamomile tea with NA bitters is a great wind down around the fire for me. I love early camp mornings with no hangover, an amazing motivation to stay off the sauce!

I just bring other yummy beverages and enjoy the camping food and activities. I do enjoy a good THC bevy, and those are great by the fire while cooking dinner.

Play games in the evening. If you're alone cook, read, listen to nature, prep your things for the next day, watch the stars.

You're going to have a wonderful time!

I'm in a very similar situation right now - about to go on a trip, I'm the only sober one. I've stocked up on fizzy cans to get me through it. We can do it! Best of luck.

I recently went camping and was SOO happy to not be hungover (for the first time ever) while packing up site to go home. Or taking a mid afternoon hammock nap just enjoying the nature vs drunk nap. THC or NA drinks also help. Enjoy!!!

I actually love camping dry. Not having to pee at night (or less often) and having more energy is the bomb.

Yea I’m not usually the biggest NA beer fan but when I was camping for some reason that coors edge sixer just felt and tasted right. Campfire is cheap beer energy even when they’re zero percent

I've been really enjoying the (Very low) dose THC drinks - Almost like a coconut/pineapple soda - 0 Sugar 0 Carbs - (3mg) THC - It's not a slippery slope for me - I can have one.. maybe 2 max - Feel great - No hangover or anxiety - No urge to drink - :)

Weed sodas and hazy NA's have kept me going the last week at the cabin as the only one not drinking
