About this cause

As the damages alcohol does to the health of individuals, relationships and the economy has become clearer through research, the numbers quitting or cutting back have increased.  According to the latest research, 23% of Australian's don't drink alcohol and 44% want to reduce their alcohol consumption.  That's over two-thirds of Australians who would love better alcohol-free options. Yet, at most venues such as restaurants, bars and sporting clubs, sophisticated non-alc drinks are sadly lacking. The lack of alternatives in social settings can either lure aspiring non-drinkers back to old patterns or simply leave them sitting at home rather than facing temptation.

While there is plenty of messaging "out there" about why to reduce alcohol, the social infastructure is lacking significantly.

NOLO Life addresses the lack of support and options for people wanting to have a healthier relationship with alcohol in a positive, affirming and non-judgemental way, providing:

  • Signposting to the venues offering a range of sophisticated NOLO options.
  • Guidance to venues how to be fully inclusive of health-focussed Australians who don't drink alcohol.
  • Inspiration to the sober curious, including NOLO drinks to try, tasting notes, lifestyle tips and tantalising drinks recipes.
  • Support to alcohol-free and low-alc beverage brands - who are the "Davids" to the "Goliaths" of the alcohol industry.

NOLO Life was founded in 2023 by Dr Karina Joyce, after she experienced the sense of isolation and invisibility when she stopped drinking alcohol.  To date the team has linked NOLO enthusiasts to over 400 venues across Australia with NOLO-friendly options, and they are growing the list by the week.  In addition they have hosted awareness raising and tasting exhibitions at Good Food and Wine shows, tasting and tour events, as well as highlighting events, support options and inspirational content to keep non-drinkers and the sober curious in the picture. 

And that's just the beginning - with a brand new website with additional features due to launch by the end of 2025, the NFP organisation are on target to achieving bigger and better things.

They welcome all contributions to help them stay on their mission.

If you are a non-drinker or aspire to cutting back, your support of NOLO Life will ultimately benefit YOU!

100% of what you give will go directly to the NOLO Life mission and help us achieve our vision where all venues across Australia will have at least one healthy alternative to every alcohol beverage type across the board.  Your support and donation will help us co-create an Australian social culture where anyone not wanting alcohol can step out with confidence, knowing they are welcomed and thoughtfully catered for!
