St. Patrick’s Day was last weekend and if you went out to celebrate, you may have noticed more non-alcoholic drink options on the menu.

That’s not a coincidence, it’s a growing movement, as more people are cutting back on their alcohol consumption in favor of a zero-proof lifestyle.

In this edition of Enlighten Me, Delaware Public Media’s Kyle McKinnon is joined by spirits and hospitality writer Elva Ramirez – author of "Zero Proof: 90 Non-Alcoholic Recipes for Mindful Drinking” – for more on the growth of non-alcoholic drinks.
