Why Bendición?
There's lots of online stores you can choose from so why us?
This is a micro business (it's just me, Cristina, running this whole operation!) so you'll be supporting the little guys - a woman founded, Latinx, Queer business.
You also don't have to worry about sorting out alcoholic drinks 'cause it's all dry here. Shipping is available nationwide wherever laws allow, and I try to have a large selection of imported brews that can't be easily (or cheaply) accessed in the U.S. Also bonus - you can buy your drinks as singles, so no need to commit to a whole six pack of something you're not sure you're going to like. So have a look around, see if there's anything you like, and let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or emotional outbursts.
imports
so you've tried everything the US has to offer - what now? broaden your horizons and see what else is out there!

"two beers in" - a playlist
Need some musical inspiration for the tough days? Refraining from alcohol is so damn rewarding, but it's no walk in the park. Some days are much harder than others, and on those days we may need just a little extra motivation. Check out the Spotify playlist we put together with our Instagram followers HERE

"Sober Boozers Club"
I was really into podcasts when I first got sober. The hosts became the community I desperately needed but didn't fully have access to at the time. Nowadays I don't tend to listen to too many, (I have a hard time staying focused) but I do still have a few favorites. "Sober Boozers Club" by Ben Gibbs is one of them. I def recommend checking it out if you have an hour or so to spare. Check it out HERE

my experience with running an NA bottle shop
people reach out to me all the time because they're interested in opening their own non-alcoholic bottle shop or bar, and they want to know what it's like and if it's worth it. my answer will usually depend on my mood, how the past month of sales has been, and if my AuDHD brain can manage processing an actual conversation. -
2023 has been a journey
I had no idea what it was going to be like opening a fully non-alcoholic bottle shop in Chicago, a city built on the backs of bars. The only thing I knew for sure was that if I needed a sober social space to thrive in - then others did too.
