The Rise of Alcohol-Free Dating: A Growing Trend This Valentine's Day
The rise of alcohol-free dating is reshaping romance, with many choosing clarity and connection over cocktails for a healthier, more authentic Valentine's Day.
MANHATTAN, NY, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- With Valentine's Day approaching, a cultural shift is emerging in how singles and couples celebrate romance. The trend of alcohol-free dating is gaining momentum, as more people choose clarity and connection over cocktails. This shift reflects a broader movement toward mindful drinking and a desire for healthier, more authentic relationships.
A recent survey conducted by DatingNews.com found that nearly two in three Millennials and Gen Zers prefer alcohol-free dates. Additionally, 87% of respondents believe dry dating fosters healthier relationships, and 68% reported stronger connections when alcohol wasn't involved. This growing preference highlights a change in attitudes toward romance and well-being.
The Evolution of Dry Dating
The past decade has seen a rise in the 'sober-curious' lifestyle, with many exploring socializing and dating without alcohol. Alcohol-free bars, zero-proof spirits, and functional beverages are becoming mainstream, offering new ways to foster genuine connections. Brands specializing in alcohol-free elixirs are playing a key role in this movement, providing beverages designed to enhance mood and promote relaxation without the downsides of drinking.
A Scientific Approach to Chemistry
Functional beverages crafted with natural nootropics, botanicals, and amino acids are designed to support social interaction and confidence without the impairments of alcohol. These alternatives allow individuals to remain fully present in their romantic moments.
According to Do'Mo's nutrition and food scientist, Susie Perry, 'We're witnessing a seismic change in attitudes around romance and health. People want to be present, safe, and vibrant on their dates. Functional elixirs like Do'Mo offer a way to spark connection and feel the tingles without compromising clarity or intention.'
A New Way to Celebrate Valentine's Day
As Valentine's Day approaches, this growing movement encourages singles and couples to rethink traditional date night choices. Many are opting for thoughtfully crafted alcohol-free cocktails or experiences that prioritize genuine conversation and connection.

Medical Gaslighting Is Real. Women Leaders Are Raising Their Voices
Before walking into the doctor's office, I felt hopeless. Four other doctors had dismissed my complaints. I was expecting the typical responses the other practitioners shared, 'Eat less and exercise more.' They assumed my size was the problem. However, nothing could have prepared me for the ultimate medical gaslighting of my life. After hearing my story, the new doctor looked me up and down twice with her eyes and responded, 'Well, obviously, you don't have a tapeworm.' Gaslighting, once thought to be the domain of toxic bosses and manipulative domestic partners, has found an alarming new home in the medical profession. Countless Americans have faced medical dismissal, causing shattered trust in doctors and spiraling depression. A staggering 72% of millennial women report feeling gaslit by medical professionals, according to a Mira study. This is a silent epidemic undermining the very foundation of our healthcare system. A Health Central survey also found that more than 94% of respondents said their doctors had ignored or dismissed their symptoms. Nearly all of those women said it had happened more than once. 'Most of us go into medicine wanting to help people; I don't think this is done out of malice,' states Dr. Chailee Moss, a gynecologist at the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders, who coauthored a paper on gaslighting in patients with vulvovaginal disorders. 'This happens because physicians don't have the time or the expertise to help patients. Pain conditions are complex, and patients require a lot of time to share their full stories. When you combine a culture that gives less weight to patients' accounts of their illness with very little time and teaching on pain conditions, it's a perfect storm. Unfortunately, in that context, it can become easier to question the problem than to admit we don't know how to fix it.' It took almost two years to be diagnosed with lipedema. The condition is characterized by estrogen signaling fat cells to multiply and enlarge, predominantly affecting the arms and legs. This process leads to the distinctive disproportionate shape familiar to those living with the condition. Lipedema affects around 11% of women globally (approximately 400 million people). Still, it's often misdiagnosed or dismissed as simple weight gain when it's much more complicated, considering there's no cure for the condition. Before undergoing 19 intensive advanced treatment sessions in Turkey, my legs felt like tree trunks, limiting how far I could walk or how long I could stand. Yet even on days when chronic pain significantly disrupted my daily functioning, I persisted in meeting my leadership responsibilities. This situation led me to ask a deeper question: How do other women navigating ongoing medical conditions continue to show up consistently and effectively as leaders? Ellen Rudolph, CEO and cofounder of WellTheory, treats medical appointments like high-stakes leadership meetings. 'I prepare with a clear agenda, supporting data and follow-ups,' she says. She's also ditched the habit of minimizing her needs to avoid discomfort. 'I've learned not to downplay what I'm experiencing just to make other people comfortable.' Ellen Rudolph, CEO and cofounder of WellTheory courtesy of WellTheory After years of medical dismissal and debilitating symptoms that once left her bedridden, she now leads a pioneering virtual care platform for autoimmune patients with empathy led by firsthand experience. 'Running an early-stage company while living with an autoimmune disease means constantly managing my energy physically, mentally and emotionally,' she says. 'But I've learned the hard way that pushing through at all costs isn't sustainable.' Instead of masking her pain, Rudolph models transparency. She's built a culture where well-being is non-negotiable. 'We can't say one thing to our members and do another ourselves,' she says. 'That means making space every day for the basics like sleep, movement, a nourishing diet and connection.' The turning point came when Brooke Young, a lifestyle television host, stopped internalizing the gaslighting. 'There was no compassion in their eyes. I was constantly told to take more mental health medication as if that was the only explanation.' Brooke Young peaking onstage at TEDx Raleigh. Courtesy of Brooke Young Trying to be normal cost her tens of thousands of dollars and countless sleepless nights. As a leader, she felt caught between two competing forces: the need to appear competent and composed and the invisible pain she was managing every day. 'I was constantly focused on how others perceived my pain instead of checking in with how I actually felt.' Her message to other women navigating similar experiences is not to give up and to stay rooted in the belief that you are not weak or crazy. Today, Young leads differently. Her success is no longer defined by pushing through pain. She honors her body's needs, even when that means showing up imperfectly. The entrepreneur explains, 'I accept those down days instead of telling myself I'm not enough.' Nicoletta Sozansky spent nearly eight years searching for answers before finally receiving a diagnosis of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. During that time, she worked full-time in New York's high-stakes financial sector while grappling with debilitating symptoms and repeated misdiagnoses. 'Even when I was close to 100 pounds and barely functioning, I never gave up on my career,' she says. 'I had worked too hard as an immigrant, as a professional to walk away.' She learned how to operate through the fog of pain, even squeezing in endoscopic procedures during lunch breaks. As the founder of Healthcare Redefined, Sozansky took her struggles with the healthcare system and built a platform that connects patients with vetted providers. Most importantly, she's built a community. Gigi Robinson, author of A Kid's Book About Chronic Illness, leads by designing her work around her health. 'Chronic illness hasn't stopped me from showing up. It's simply changed how I do it,' she shares. Through her company, It's Gigi LLC, she's created a model where flexibility is a core value. She doesn't hesitate to seek second opinions and share with her team when she feels unwell and needs to slow down. By sharing her reality in real time, she fosters deeper empathy within the communities she leads. Diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and later endometriosis, Robinson has since become a powerful voice for chronic illness advocacy in media and business. 'Dismissal taught me to speak louder, not smaller,' she says. 'Self-trust is non-negotiable.' These women's stories challenge a culture that too often equates strength with silence. True leadership is about creating space for humanity. As more women speak up and advocate for their needs, they change the conversation around chronic illness and transform leadership. Dr. Moss emphasizes that solutions must start with systemic change, 'The antidotes are research, education and training in the kind of exam or interview techniques that affirm patient symptoms and help patients feel they have a partner in their care.' Diagnosis is just the beginning. As I continue to advocate for myself, I refuse to accept 'It's all in your head' as the final verdict from doctors who don't yet understand.

Rare cancer diagnoses surge dramatically among millennials and Gen X
A rare type of cancer is growing among millennials and members of Generation X, new research shows. Diagnoses of appendix cancer have tripled in the U.S. for people born between 1976 and 1984 — and it has quadrupled for those born between 1981 and 1989. The study was published on Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Researchers from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center analyzed data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program to arrive at these findings. "When you take these alarming rates that we are seeing for appendiceal cancer across generations, together with the fact that one in every three patients diagnosed with appendiceal cancer is diagnosed under the age of 50, these point to a timely need for everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms of appendix cancer," said lead author Andreana Holowatyj, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, in a press release from the university. Cancer of the appendix is rare, affecting only about one or two people per million each year in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Even so, doctors emphasize the importance of seeking medical attention if symptoms emerge. "Ruling out the possibility of an appendix cancer diagnosis, or diagnosing it early, is important for this cancer as we continue to learn what factors may be contributing to this worrisome trend," Holowatyj said. Appendiceal cancer forms in the appendix, which is a small organ located in the lower right abdomen. There are two main types: epithelial appendiceal cancer, which involves the cells of the lining of the appendix, and neuroendocrine appendiceal cancer, which results from the growth of neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors of the appendix, the NCI states. In early stages of the disease, most people do not notice symptoms. As the cancer progresses, common symptoms include pain, a bloated feeling, a mass in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, and sudden feelings of fullness while eating, according to the above source. Five-year survival rates for appendix cancer range from 10% to 63%. Common treatments for this type of cancer include surgery to remove the appendix and any other affected organs, as well as chemotherapy to kill any metastasized cancer cells. Based on the study findings, the researchers are calling for increased awareness among both the public and the medical community. "As incidence rates in younger generations are often indicative of future disease burden, these results support the need for histology-specific investigations of appendiceal adenocarcinoma, as well as increased education and awareness of appendiceal adenocarcinomas among healthcare providers and the public," the study stated. There are no standard screening guidelines or risk factors for appendix cancer, which means up to half of diagnoses occur after the disease has already spread, according to the researchers. Five-year survival rates for appendix cancer range from 10% to 63%.

Are Millennials ‘Childless' or ‘Child Free'?
To the Editor: 'Why Do Millennials Dread Having Babies?,' by Michal Leibowitz (Opinion guest essay, June 1), left me sad, impatient and energetically questioning her conclusion. Sad to read that she and others in their 20s and 30s are so fearful of having children. Impatient with her portrait of a mental health culture that seems to her to encourage people to live in a world limited by parental abuse and inadequacy. And energetically questioning her conclusion that such a culture is causing childlessness. Young people I know are indeed hesitant about having children, but almost exclusively for the reasons Ms. Leibowitz touches on in the beginning of her piece, but does not return to in her analysis. Some worry about their ability to support children financially, and many are deeply concerned about our country's appetite for authoritarianism and the kind of future that climate change will bring. It is critical to the psychotherapeutic enterprise to recognize the influences — especially the traumas — that have shaped our feelings and behavior. But responsible therapists also do everything possible to help patients and clients loosen the hold of damaging childhood experience, and wrest from its pain the strength and wisdom to live mindfully and hopefully in the present. Most of the people I've worked with on this issue over 50 years — including women who as children suffered horrendous physical abuse — have said that their therapeutic experience made them far more comfortable with having children. Friends who have worked with other therapists say the same. Some do worry whether they will do a better job than their parents, but just about all welcome the opportunity and the challenge. James S.
