Why Gen Z Is Ditching Booze For The Best Non Alcoholic Seltzers?

Gen Z is rewriting the rulebook on social drinking, and spoiler alert—booze isn’t invited. Who is leading it all? Of course, Mitra9! Forget those crusty hangover stories your millennial sister keeps trauma dumping about – we're literally out here living well with the best non alcoholic seltzers that hit differently. Like, imagine getting main character energy without the 3 AM "I'm never drinking again" tweets or the Sunday scaries creeping up on you. Look, we've all been there – doom scrolling through our ex's vacation pics at 2 AM (why do they look SO good in Santorini?). But instead of reaching for that wine bottle, let's talk about the drink that's making GenZ collectively say, "Regular booze, who?"

The GenZ Shift- Booze Is Out & Non Alcoholic Seltzers Are In

Who even goes to bars anymore when you can have a whole vibe in your room?

I Just Said, Screw It & 'Booked A Flight' Sip

POV: You're having your weekly quarter-life crisis and just booked flights you can't afford. The drink: Berry Kratom Seltzer

The vibe: Motivated x1000

Literally me: Booking flights to Bali while sipping this berry goodness

"It's called self-care, bestie!" No, but fr, this flavor hits differently when you're in your spontaneous era.

For Those Pre-Date Nerves

POV: That situationship just asked to "hang"?

The move: Raspberry Lime Kratom Seltzer

Why tho? Because showing up to a date with wine breath is so 2019.

Real talk: This drink is giving "I'm nervous, but make it spicy.

Plus, you won't be explaining any embarrassing texts tomorrow.

While Stalking Your Ex's Instagram Profile

Kava Orange Dreamsicle is THE drink for your late-night social media deep dives. It's basically a hug in a can, but make it citrusy. Perfect for when you accidentally like their post from 2019 (we've all been there) and need something to calm those nerves.

No, because who needs a glass of wine when you're 47 weeks deep in their likes? This dreamsicle moment got you covered without the aftermath of the drunk texting.

Group Chat Unlocked Chaos Mode

Tropical Kratom Seltzer is giving chaotic group chat energy. It's that one friend who suggests getting matching tattoos at 3 AM but in seltzer form. The tropical vibes will have you spamming the group chat with vacation rental links nobody asked for.

I Am Not Going Out, I Will Go Sip

Kava Strawberry Watermelon is your perfect "sorry I'm busy" drink (even when you're just rewatching Wednesday for the fifth time). It's the taste of summer without the pressure actually to go outside and touch grass.

Or maybe when every other person around you is hitting the club, but you're in your era.

The move: Kava Strawberry Watermelon.

Actual footage: Me + face mask + Mitra9's Selzters

Because: FOMO who? We're too busy having a home spa moment with this service. And alcohol? Nah, not your type!

Slide In Your Crush's DM Like A Pro

The mission: Actually shoot your shot for once

The wingman: Black Cherry Kratom Seltzer

The strategy: Sip, type, delete, sip again, actually send!

Real talk: This black cherry moment is basically liquid courage, but make it classy, and of course, you can't be sane after the booze.

The Verdict: GenZ's Are Onto Something

Shots? Nah. Beer bloat? Hard pass. Gen Z is all about better choices, good vibes, and feeling their best. Non alcoholic seltzers don’t just fit the aesthetic—they fit the lifestyle. Refreshing, flavorful, and totally hangover-free, they’re the drink you actually want in your hand.

Look, we’re not saying alcohol is canceled… but let’s just say it’s on thin ice. Who needs the drama of regrettable texts, mystery bruises, and waking up feeling like you got hit by a truck? Not you. Mitra9’s best non alcoholic seltzers are proof that you can still be the life of the party—minus the next-day struggle. So, grab a can, raise a toast to better choices, and let the good times fizz. Cheers to actually remembering the night!
