In today’s fast-paced world, people are redefining what it means to indulge and live luxuriously. Enter NoLo living—embracing non-alcoholic (No) and low-alcohol (Lo) beverages as a way to elevate socialising, dining, and wellness experiences. No longer a compromise, NoLo options are becoming a statement of mindful living and sophistication.
Alcohol is woven into many workplace cultures — client entertainment, end-of-year events, networking functions, Friday drinks, hospitality settings and travel. But without a clear framework, alcohol can quietly introduce risk.
An Alcohol Safe Workplace (ASW) Framework helps organisations manage legal, reputational, psychosocial and operational risk — while building a culture that is inclusive, professional and aligned with modern expectations of health and safety.
23% of Australian adults DON’T drink alcohol – this trend is growing by approximately 1% every three years
Alcohol significantly increases your risk of cancer, liver and heart disease, and causes problems with sleeping, mental health and leads to a spiralling lack of self worth
Each week 100+ Australians die and 3,000+ are hospitalised due to excessive drinking, while every year 70,000+ Australians are victims of alcohol related assault, including 24,000 of domestic violence
While 10 standard drinks per week is considered the limit of “safe” drinking, according to WHO, ANY alcohol consumption increases health risk
Love, love, love Pilu! It’s so nice to have such a broad range of alcohol-free options. This is a great place for non-drinkers to go to really feel special and included.

River Bar & Kitchen are one of the few places to have AF wine. Great vibe and fantastic food. Always a good option for a relaxed night out without a ridiculous price tag.

Our favourite restaurant is Matteo’s – they have a massive wine list which includes a couple of AF options. The service there is impeccable, and the atmosphere is sophisticated but also warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Ginny’s Bar in Brunswick – pretty much everything they have in traditional versions, they also have in non-alcoholic. As the front bar of distillery Brunswick Aces, they specialise in gin, but have a range of beers, wine and mocktails. It’s a boujee little bar with a quirky vibe – a good place for pre-dinner drinks.
