I have a can of delicious premixed non-alc pina colada. Earlier, I made cauliflower-leaf soup, which is much tastier than it sounds. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I have a can of non-alc lime mojito, which is pleasantly inoffensive. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I’m back on the peachy beer. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails
[Not pictured: the messy result of the can having been shaken up a bit in transit, which only became known on opening.]

For reasons that even I cannot explain, I am drinking cream soda. (To be fair, quite a lot of things don’t make much sense at the moment.) Cheers, I guess? #ConfinedCocktails

My photography skills have not improved but this premixed non-alc pina colada is delicious anyway. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I have Baileys in a vague attempt to be festive. Cheers to my cold proving short-lived (apart from the residual cough that seems determined to persist indefinitely). #ConfinedCocktails

I’m surprisingly ahead with the Christmas admin but unsurprisingly behind with everything else. In good news, the foam on this non-alc beer subsided a few seconds after I took the photo. Cheers!* #ConfinedCocktails

I have a can of non-alc “Aperol” spritz in the vague hope that I might still be motivated to do something that requires concentration this evening. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Fennel tea for me because that’s what I felt like. #ConfinedCocktails is giving me some much needed perspective. Thank you!

I made an impulse purchase of some (slightly disappointing) olives & the only suitable drink I have to pair with them is Italian non-alc beer. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Non-alc beer for me, with these purportedly teriyaki-flavoured crisps because I was determined to try something new. Should perhaps have picked the nori & wasabi flavour. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Peroni senza alcol for me, with little Japanese crackers. I ought to be (but am not) writing a talk that I’m giving in a week & a half. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

I have a can of premixed non-alcoholic mocktail pina colada. The cashier asked for ID, despite the many visibly white hairs in my beard & the fact that the label says “ALCOHOL FREE” in large, friendly letters. My moisturiser is clearly worth every penny. #ConfinedCocktails

I also have pineapple, in the form of a can of non-alc pretend pina colada. This is delicious, but not the right pairing for my wasabi-flavoured snacks. Cheers! #ConfinedCocktails

Non-alcoholic premixed mock-Aperol spritz for me. No home wifi or working washing machine, so I was tempted by something stronger, but I also have a headache... #FirstWorldProblems #ConfinedCocktails
