An unscientific, but fun survey released today by Uber Eats indicates North Bay residents showed their commitment to Dry January, ranking fifth in Canada for most mocktail orders this month.
A mocktail is a nonalcoholic drink consisting of a mixture of fruit juices or other soft drinks.
"Following a busy holiday season, many health-conscious Canadians embraced the modern tradition of Dry January, starting the year off right with an alcohol-free month," says a news release. "Taking a break from booze seems to be at the top of everyone’s resolution list this year. The city that stayed the driest in January was Winnipeg and the city that ordered the most mocktails was Regina."
