Millions of New Yorkers will fill Irish pubs on Saturday, toasting dyed green beers and hoping some St. Paddy's Day luck will keep their hangovers from hitting too hard.
Meanwhile, a handful of their more health inclined neighbors will be celebrating with a slightly different green liquid on hand: The St. Patrick's Day Juice Crawl (http://www.juicecrawl.com/)is for healthy people who want to be social, but prefer the taste (and effects) of cold pressed green juices.
"The whole goal is to join the healthy living lifestyle with a social lifestyle," said the juice crawl's founder, Anna Garcia. "Often when you're trying to be healthy, you have a new diet or workout routine, and it tends to pull you away from people."
The social-but-not-drunk concept is one that many millennials are taking on. A recent study found that young people are drinking less than ever (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/13/party-young-people-debt-jogging-drinking-fitness) (and less than their parents), reporting "health" as their reason. So, it makes sense for social activities to focus around things other than alcohol. There's even a fitness/dating app hybrid (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/sweatt-fitness-dating-app_us_56d752b2e4b0bf0dab345e2f)that helps singles meet new people over a workout class instead of a glass of wine.
At this year's St. Paddy's crawl, attendees will start the afternoon with bootcamp-style workout class at Athleta in Flat Iron, after which they'll cool down with samples of up to 30 juices around the city.
Tickets cost $49 (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/juicecrawl.com/2486879), which sounds pricey at first, until you consider how easy it is to blow $50 on a round of drinks. (It's also worth noting that a single juice in Manhattan can cost $12.)
You definitely don't need to be in NYC to benefit from a buzz-free St. Paddy's. There are tons of recipes for fancy, alcohol-free drinks; whip up a few of these (http://www.modernmom.com/3734d268-3b48-11e3-94be-bc764e04a41e.html)and the day will definitely feel like a party. Even more, you can host a Sober St. Patrick's Day (http://www.soberstpatricksday.org/), an event that was organized to celebrate the spirit of the holiday without alcohol.
And of course you could always just ask your pals to get a non-alcoholic beverage outside of the organized event, but you might miss out on meeting new, likeminded people (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/sweatt-fitness-dating-app_us_56d752b2e4b0bf0dab345e2f). And, your day probably won't have a theme song:
Come on and get healthy/Come on and get loose/Take a few selfies/And drink some cold-pressed juice.
