Beyond Hangovers

  Sober October saw House of Happiness hit the dancefloor at Electrowerkz with their feisty Housewarming debut. Next Saturday   Fire & Lightbox is set to Ignite with House of Happiness  Flamboyance!!! And it's an alcohol/substance-free Buzz all the way! The Sober Clubbing challenge When Steve Strange and the Blitz Kids took clubbing to celebrity standards - risk was sown into their post-punk outfits!  It was 1980, and prejudice was easily provoked. But the New Romantic look, along with outlandish clubbing costumes became a media sensation.  And although the menace of thick Teds and seething Skinheads was never far away... neither were certain sedatives and stimulants. (some things change after four decades, some don't) But there's always a fresh approach to the highs and lows of any era. 'Sober is the new FUN!!' And it's easier to believe than it sounds! Here's why. House of Happiness aims to be 'free from drama or crappy attitudes' - and h...

You know how mixing beer, wine and spirits gets you drunk more quickly? Except it doesn't. Sick beyond words - certainly!  But 'alcohol is alcohol' and 'the effect is determined by how much you drink, not what you drink.' Well so it seems! Perhaps others would have done (far) better in Diageo beverages' Drink IQ Quiz 🙄 Although it should still provide some surprising insights! In its central role at Lounge 0.0% - an airport attraction with a snazzy spot of style! Slick scene for selfies: Lounge 0.0% is situated within the World Duty Free store at Heathrow Airport The event is staged as an immersive, alcohol-awareness experience at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. While essentially a brand activation exercise for Tanqueray 0.0% (launched last October). And to many, it may seem like a virtue-veiled, product promotion spectacular! However the project supports the aims of Heathrow Airport in promoting flight safety. Since 2018 the aviation industry has run ...

  What's the first thing you'll do when entertaining guests this Easter? That's right - offer them all a drink! And here's why non-alcoholic beverages make so much sense for hosting a successful Easter get-together . . .   The UK's first agave-based Tequila alternative by Mockingbird Raising alcohol-free drinks glasses for Easter 2022! So your guests have arrived and you're all eager to relax. It's time to catch up and enjoy the Easter celebrations. 'So what can I get you?' - your warm offer extends their way! Now think. How many times have you heard one of your visitors reply 'oh, not much for me really, I'm driving' - or some other sad mumble? And we all know that's typical guestspeak for 'it's my other half who'll be having the fun today/I'll just do my best to keep up with these jollies'.  (or some similar scenario) So you serve them something (not unlike) lime & soda.
