Are Non-alcoholic Beverages, Like Root Beer, Okay To Drink For Amritdhaari?

[Guest Singh]

Hi,

I am an amrit dhaari sikh. I was wondering if it is okay to consume non-alcoholic beverages, like root beer. I have friends who sometimes go to bars and invite me. I often deny, but once in a while I join so I can socialize. While I am there, is it okay to have root beer, or should I avoid drinking?

Thanks,

Singh

Gursikhi aside, avoid soda (any carbonated drink) at all costs. Lots of health conscious people drink water or something light even when socialising. Frequenting bars / pubs is, of course, your decision. Whatever you feel is best.

Although, on the subject of fizzy drinks, does anyone else do the old desi indigestion remedy, with a glass of lemonade and a pinch of salt? You have to down the concoction before it rises over the rim, but it works a treat, lol.

Nah man! Nothing beats a teaspoon of ajwein with a pinch of salt, washed down with a warm cup of water for indigestion.

That's a bit TOO desi for my liking, lol.

If you are strictly talking GurSikhi than yes, but keeping that out; avoid soft drinks as much as possible.

Honestly, I probably can't give up root beer
