The "Booze-free clubbing" has become the latest nightlife trend in Stockholm, Sweden, it has been reported.

A sober night club in Sweden has a strict no-alcohol policy, so the drinks served at the bar are all "mocktails," News.com.au reported.

The signature offering is a blend of lime, fresh mint, and ginger beer that costs around13 dollars and before entering the club, people have to take a breath test; if the machine shows alcohol content above 0.0 per cent, they would be asked to leave.

Sober founder Marten Andersson said that one of his biggest inspirations was "straight edge," the 1980s hard-core punk subculture whose adherents refrained from using alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, sticking instead to "natural highs."

 

Sober has been endorsed by the Swedish Temperance Association. It premiered in September and has already inspired copycat events around the country.
