Sergi91 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The drinks come in four flavors — black cherry cranberry, mango passionfruit, peach orange blossom and lime yuzu — and are designed to replicate the taste of the original White Claw Hard Seltzers. User Alex Jewell took issue with the tagline of "a new wave in drinking," sarcastically calling it a "clever reinvention" of seltzer water. "Oh…. what if we used it as a mixer…. I bet it would go good with vodka ….," user Cleo Night wrote. "So, it's flavored water?" another user asked. Some users online took issue with the cost of the new seltzers, which has a suggested retailer price range of $17.49-$19.99 for a 12-pack or $10.99-$11.49 for a 6-pack. "Seltzer water at beer prices," one user wrote. "There's literally seltzer water right behind it for probably half the price," another chimed in. A majority of alcohol drinkers, about 80% of Millennials and Gen Zers, are interested in exploring a "sober-curious" or "damp" lifestyle, a new survey from the company revealed.

Mornings Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Idk the more seltzer the better, as a sober person. Would be nice to have an option that would help me blend in so it’s not a huge topic at a social event. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruel Summer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The only drag here is the price, which I get seems a little steep since the cans are smaller than a similarly priced pack of something like Liquid Death. Anyone who’s just complaining about the company making alternatives for people who want to avoid alcohol needs to search within themselves. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orsay Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I mean it is kinda ridiculous they’re basically charging the same price for what is essentially a trashy La Croix 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shookspeare Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 White claw is gross, alcohol or not. Not sure why we're still pretending it's good. If you don't want alcohol have a diet coke or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want alcohol have a diet coke or something I’m sober and I like to drink zero percent alcohol drinks that aren’t soda. People leave you alone if you just drink tonic water in a glass - I also buy 0% champagne for dinner/house parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been drinking carbonated water for well over a thousand years. You can find flavored ones in any store that sells beverages. This drink is rather overpriced since seltzer water is so cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk dude just stand your ground, or find different settings where you don’t have to feel the need to avoid a topic. - white claw is gross, or honestly just seltzers in general. I can’t stand the feeling of drinking carbonated water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t stand the feeling of drinking carbonated water Yeah you don’t get it. That’s cool though, hopefully you won’t have to get it. I’m happy in my life and in my friend groups but certain social situations are unavoidable, and if I can not have an annoying conversation and have to explain myself to people who have made up perspectives about something they don’t experience… kind of like I am doing now. Then my life will be much easier. it’s just seltzer, and from someone who is actually an addict, the push back about how this could be beneficial is weird AF. If I know how to doubly quote I would but this is for you too @Topaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamianSolo Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I don't, nor do I ever have the urge to, drink alcohol, so it's something I'd try—just as another beverage option. I appreciate them for thinking of people such as myself, who don't need alcohol to have a good time—but similarly just want a good tasting beverage to enjoy. They may want to re-evaluate those prices, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely nothing that says those people need and/or are dependent on alcohol to have a good time. They are simply adults who know how to have fun and have a healthy relationship with drinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll even say it again, "I appreciate them for thinking of people such as myself, who don't need alcohol to have a good time—but similarly want a good tasting beverage to enjoy." Identify for me in that sentence, please, where I addressed people who drink socially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "needs alcohol to have fun" bit is always an obvious statement from those too scared or "holier than thou" to have a little drink. A proper statement would be "for those who don't drink like myself" how simple was that. Edited January 16 by Afterglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have asked me in which context I was referring to, if you were that confused due to you being unable to read and process information. Instead, you resorted to calling people "childish" because you don't know how to read. And using Nicki pictures isn't doing anything to make you seem smart or intelligent, if that's what you think—quite the contrary. You've been on ATRL too long if you think you're doing something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
