Club Soda in the news

Mindful drinking is in the news. Club Soda turns up in newspapers and magazines, on the TV and on the radio, because we think mindful drinking is for everyone – and so we want to tell people about it.

These are all our media appearances so far this year and some blogs that have mentioned us. There are links to previous years’ coverage at the end (2018, 2017 and 2016 and before). If we’ve missed anything, let us know. Just email jussi@joinclubsoda.co.uk.
