These health centers, which exploded across the U.S. in the early 2020s, offer specialty treatments and personalized medical protocols to slow aging and extend life.

The “mocktail” is having its moment, and Modelo is old news — at least according to Quinn Tetterton, a 20-year-old UF theatre sophomore. Tetterton said his friends drag him to venues where clutching a Solo Cup or seltzer is a social expectation. But Tetterton’s happy to swap booze for alcohol-free beverages like Liquid Death, a sparkling water product packaged to resemble a beer can. He said he wants to feel included but not intoxicated.

Tetterton dijo que sus amigos lo traen a lugares donde es una expectación social que todos tengan un Solo Cup o trago. Pero Tetterton está contento con sustituir el alcohol por bebidas que no son alcohólicas como Liquid Death, un producto de agua con gas hecho para parecerse como una lata de cerveza.
