October: the month to reflect on women's health
Every October, the world turns pink to remind us of the importance of breast cancer prevention and early detection . Beyond medical checkups and self-exams, it's also a good time to reflect on our daily habits—including alcohol consumption.
Science confirms it: there is no safe amount of alcohol when it comes to breast cancer risk. Even light or "social" drinking can increase the risk of developing the disease.
Why does alcohol increase the risk of breast cancer?
Alcohol can alter estrogen and other hormone levels in the body, stimulating the growth of cancerous cells. Furthermore, its metabolism generates acetaldehyde , a toxic and carcinogenic substance that can damage DNA.
According to the World Health Organization , women who regularly consume alcohol have a 7% to 16% higher risk of developing breast cancer, depending on the amount consumed.
Reducing—or eliminating—alcohol doesn't mean giving up the pleasure of a good drink. It means choosing smarter, more mindful alternatives for your well-being.
Providing without risk: Sense's alternatives
At Sense , we believe every toast should be a cause for celebration, not worry. That's why we've selected non-alcoholic beverages with natural, premium flavors that allow you to enjoy the moment without compromising your health.
🍷 Roots Divino Rosso
An Italian gem made with alcohol-free wine and natural botanicals. Its balanced flavor, with notes of grape, cherry, and herbs, makes it the perfect companion for elegant dinners or relaxed evenings.
🫖 Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Lysegrøn
Refined, floral, and full of nuances. This sparkling beverage combines green, white, and oolong teas with delicate bubbles reminiscent of champagne, but without the alcohol or hangover. Perfect for celebrating life with a light touch.
🌸 Gnista Floral Wormwood
A botanical spirit, handcrafted in Sweden. Its aromatic profile—bitter, floral, and slightly smoky—makes it ideal for those seeking alcohol-free complexity.
🍑 Lyre's Amaretti
Inspired by the classic almond liqueur, this alcohol-free Amaretti is sweet and comforting, perfect for autumn cocktails or to pair with coffee after a meal.

A ready-to-drink that captures the spirit of the Italian aperitivo without the effects of alcohol. Refreshing, fruity, and with a touch of bitterness that makes it irresistible.
Taking care of yourself can also be delicious.
Choosing non-alcoholic beverages doesn't mean sacrificing the joy of good times. It means transforming how you enjoy them . A glass of Roots Divino Rosso during an intimate chat, or a glass of Sparkling Tea celebrating life with friends, can have the same emotional value, but with real health benefits.
Furthermore, reducing alcohol intake improves your sleep, digestion, skin, and mood. What begins as a precautionary choice becomes a new way of living: clearer, more balanced, and more mindful.
