Maybe it’s for declared alcoholics who still want to enjoy the taste, but w/o alcohol.
Decades ago, in the 1980’s I was over drinking.
I have a high tolerance, so soon i was drinking more to get that same buzz. That was not good for my health or mood, so I decided on my own to taper way back.
If I had a serious alcohol problem, this kind of product would only make me remember what I’m now missing.
To avoid drinking alcohol, I would need to also avoid anything that looked, smelled or tasted like the true ambrosia I really want. Even the sound of pouring it into a bourbon glass would light me up.
Yeah, I have been sober for more than thirty years. And I am pretty certain it was not the taste that drew me to alcohol. Without the effect of alcohol, gin has no attraction to me. I can’t even imagine if there is truly a market for this.
