This is a group for twetysomething and thirtysomething Londoners who love socialising and eating out but are taking a break from alcohol, whether long-term or just a bit of time off. I recently joined a network based in Australia called Hello Sunday Morning which is an online community that looks at changing attitudes to alcohol, without demonising it or being too prescriptive.
