      This particular one doesn't fit my tastes, but the occasional non-alcoholic (or at least low enough on alcohol that it wouldn't affect anyone) options would be great to see more of.
      Sometimes you don't want to or otherwise can't afford to get intoxicated. Being the "designed driver" is an obvious and frequent example but not the only one.
      Religious reasons, already having as much alcohol in your blood as you want but wanting something more interesting than water, not really liking the taste of alcohol, being underage/mixing a drink for someone who is underage, medications you can't drink on, wanting to socially participate but also engaging then or in the near future in some activity where you would prefer to have your full mental faculties, being a recovered/recovering alcoholic who wants to use mixing non-alcoholic drinks the way that people stopping smoking substitute in gum or lollipops to be able to keep the similar oral habits without the substance they've been addicted to, or generally just being fascinated by the idea of mixing drinks and liking that kind of bold but complex flavor profiles you can build with them, but not liking the taste of alcohol itself (which as odd as that sounds for someone watching these, I know I'm not the only one in the audience for which that applies)
      The occasional "and this is how you could make this without alcohol" sounds like a great idea!

    One of my favorite things about Brennan's relationship with his mom is when he introduces Starstruck he always says "author Elaine Lee" before mentioning that she is his mom. That's both professional respect AND love for his mom.

    • @notjohnbruno1522
      @notjohnbruno1522 Před rokem +237

      I think a lot of it also comes from him really wanting to make the “author of Starstruck, and also me, she’s my mother” joke. He doesn’t make the joke all the time, but I definitely remember him doing it in the first episode as well as the BTS videos where he talked with his mother about the universe

Also that non-alcoholic version sounds insanely fantastic and now I really want to make one

      I don't drink much at all, sometimes I'll have a beer with a meal, a six-pack lasts me months! there were swathes of times when I wasn't allowed to drink. Point is, during my whole life I don't think I was ever made fun of for *not* drinking. Sometimes I say I'm the designated driver, sometimes work the next day, but always people accepted it no problem.

      Yes, you don’t need an excuse but social situations can be awkward. So if you want an excuse, you can say “I can’t drink because of medication” (lots and lots of meds are counterindicated for alcohol) and if you’re at a work party or a bar with casual friends just ask for a club soda/seltzer with a twist of lemon. No one will know there’s no vodka in that soda, and you don’t have to feel like you need to explain something.

      It's just so "foreign" of a concept when someone doesn't want to drink. I've caught myself doing the "oh come on just this once" thing a couple times in the past but nowadays I mostly just default to "good for you, it makes you feel like shit anyways" as a response

    The fact that these two went to college together just shows the lovely chemistry they have on screen. Also the fact that they made a non-alcoholic version (because Brennan doesn't drink) just makes it more accessible (and more affordable!) for anyone who's not in the mood or doesn't drink alcohol.
    Brennan's reactions to the whole process is just so wonderful and child-like. I can't stop smiling and laughing. Hopefully his mom will enjoy the drink as much as he did!

      Yeah, this particular one doesn't fit my tastes, but the occasional non-alcoholic (or at least low enough on alcohol that it wouldn't affect anyone) options would be great to see more of.
      Sometimes you don't want to or otherwise can't afford to get intoxicated. Being the "designed driver" is an obvious and frequent example but not the only one.
      Religious reasons, already having as much alcohol in your blood as you want but wanting something more interesting than water, not really liking the taste of alcohol, being underage/mixing a drink for someone who is underage, medications you can't drink on, wanting to socially participate but also engaging then or in the near future in some activity where you would prefer to have your full mental faculties, being a recovered/recovering alcoholic who wants to use mixing non-alcoholic drinks the way that people stopping smoking substitute in gum or lollipops to be able to keep the similar oral habits without the substance they've been addicted to, or generally just being fascinated by the idea of mixing drinks and liking that kind of bold but complex flavor profiles you can build with them, but not liking the taste of alcohol itself (which as odd as that sounds for someone watching these, I know I'm not the only one in the audience for which that applies)
