The Zero-Proof Scoop

At Do’Mo, we’re all about joy, mood, and connection, but we’re also about science. So let’s clear something up: Do’Mo isn’t a “functional beverage.” It’s not just a cool can with feel-good vibes. It’s a therapeutically dosed dietary supplement, and this status matters.

Summer is here, and with it comes longer days, brighter skies, and a natural pull to get outside and soak up the good vibes. It’s the perfect season to step back from screens, slow down the scroll, and reconnect with real experiences, deeper joy, and immersing yourself in nature. But let’s be honest: in a world buzzing with notifications and digital noise, that kind of reset isn’t always easy.  Is Your Brain Overstimulated? If you wake up foggy, power through the day on coffee and scrolling, and crash into bed feeling drained, then take this 45 second quiz to help you identify if your dopamine system might be out of sync. Symptoms like low motivation, mood swings, restless sleep, and screen fatigue are all signs that your reward system may need a reset. That’s where the Do’Mo 12-Day Dopamine Reset comes in.  The Dopamine Crisis: Why You Need A Reset! Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter involved in motivation, focus, reward, and emotional resilience. Often described as the brain’s “pleasure chemical,” its role extends far beyond fleeting moments of joy, it underpins your drive to chase goals, enjoy achievements, and seek out pleasurable activities. Your brain releases dopamine when you experience something rewarding, whether it’s a delicious meal, an exciting event, or completing a task. Yet in a world saturated with fast, intense dopamine hits from constant notifications to binge-worthy content or getting wired on stress, caffeine, sugar and alcohol, our dopamine system can become overstimulated and dysregulated. Over time, this can make it harder to find fulfillment in everyday experiences, leading to reduced motivation, mental fatigue, and a persistent sense of dissatisfaction. The solution? A dopamine reset!  Less Scroll, More Soul: A Fresh Take on Wellness A dopamine reset isn’t about denying yourself pleasure, it's about restoring balance. It’s an intentional pause from the over-stimulation of modern life, designed to help you reconnect with slower, more sustaining sources of joy: the calm of nature, the rhythm of movement, the depth of real connection. When dopamine is rebalanced, focus sharpens, energy returns, sleep improves and even the simplest moments begin to feel enriching and fulfilling again. The 12-Day Dopamine Reset: A Journey to Rebalance The 12-Day Dopamine Reset is a thoughtfully designed roadmap to restoring dopamine balance with 12 easy lifestyle hacks that guide you through a digital detox and encourage you to engage with mindful activities to reawaken your capacity for deep, lasting enjoyment. This step-by-step plan is packed full of practical tips, accessible tools and daily practices to help you: Identify your dopamine disruptors: Gain clarity on the activities and habits that may be contributing to an imbalance. Create a mindful routine: Incorporate practices like breathwork, meditation, journaling, and spending time outdoors. Reconnect with your senses: Rediscover the pleasure in tastes, smells, sounds, and textures. Set realistic goals: Implement intentional changes that align with your lifestyle, no extremes, just steady shifts that stick. Daily Sundowner: The Neuroscience Inside The Can The 12-Day Dopamine Reset includes a Do’Mo Variety Pack containing 12 Zero Proof Elixirs (4 of each flavor). Each can is packed with 6000mg of 17 functional ingredients, including natural nootropics, amino acids, and nutrients that work synergistically to support dopamine balance. During the Dopamine Reset, each evening begins with a Do’Mo Zero-Proof Elixir, the time of day when you might typically reach for a glass of wine or something sweet. Whether winding down solo or heading out to socialize, this functional sundowner hack provides a gentle lift, promotes relaxation, and enhances your overall mood – without the alcohol, added sugar, or caffeine. The Zero Proof Elixirs complement the reset program beautifully, offering a flavorful and enjoyable alternative to less healthy evening habits.

Biohacking. It sounds intense, like something reserved for tech bros, futurists, or people who wear glucose monitors for fun. But strip away the buzzword, and you’re left with a simple, powerful, wellness concept: the pursuit of better living through intentional, data-driven choices. At its core, biohacking is about optimizing the human body and brain. Fueling performance, promoting longevity, and feeling your absolute best from dawn to dusk. Whether that means tracking deep sleep with an Oura Ring, experimenting with intermittent fasting, infrared saunas or swapping cocktails for nootropic elixirs (hello Do’Mo!), the biohacker’s toolkit is ever-evolving. And that’s exactly why so many in the biohacking space are falling head over heels for Do’Mo—the fun, functional, alcohol-free way to upgrade your happy hour without compromising your health. One thing biohackers are known for? Uncovering products that actually work. So it’s no surprise that Do’Mo’s unrivaled 6000mg dose of 17 functional ingredients stops many a biohacker in their tracks, usually followed by a jaw-dropping, “Wait… is this for real?” Yes, it’s real. Do’Mo is backed by science and delivers real results, supporting mood, sleep, and mental clarity with nothing but clean, bioactive ingredients available in three great flavors.  But before we dive into what makes Do’Mo the biohacker’s dream social tonic. Let’s take a quick look at the pillars that guide this health-optimizing movement. What Is Biohacking, Anyway? Biohacking is the art and science of enhancing your biology through strategic lifestyle interventions. It’s about learning how your body works, and then giving it what it needs to perform better, longer, and more efficiently. Think of it like this: Biohackers track, test, and tweak their inputs (food, sleep, movement, supplements, etc.) They use both ancient wisdom and modern tech to fine-tune their internal systems And they chase sustainable energy, brainpower, and vitality like it’s a sport For beginners, this might start with cutting down on sugar or starting your day with a Dave Asprey Bulletproof Coffee to rev up your metabolism. For advanced hackers, it can mean stacking nootropics, red light therapy, or the Wim Hof Method cold exposure to dial up peak performance. If you're new to biohacking then there are six core values that unite biohackers, and each biohack points straight to why Do’Mo is such a hit. Biohack 1: Low-to-No Alcohol: Protect the Cells, Protect the Brain Contrary to popular belief, most biohackers aren’t totally sober. But they are extremely selective about alcohol use. Why? Because alcohol is a known neurotoxin and pro-aging agent—plain and simple. Even moderate drinking contributes to oxidative stress, impairs sleep, disrupts hormone balance, and damages cellular structures like DNA and mitochondria. Long-term, it shrinks brain volume and increases risk for neurodegenerative disease. That’s a hard pass for people trying to live to 100 with their wits intact. Do’Mo and biohack 1 Our Zero Proof Elixirs offer biohackers a new kind of nightlife. One that lets you stay social without paying the biological price. You still get the ritual, the glass in hand, the mellow mood... but you wake up in brainpower mode, not hangover mode. Plus, no sketchy ingredients. No jitters. Just good vibes, backed by functional nutrition. Biohack 2: Mood Optimization: Feel-Good Vibes, Every Single Day For biohackers, it’s not enough to just look healthy—they want to feel amazing too. Mood matters. Emotional resilience, motivation, and daily joy are all seen as signs of a well-regulated, high-performing system. That’s why many biohackers focus on neurotransmitter balance, the delicate interplay between brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA that influence everything from motivation and reward to calm and contentment. Do’Mo and biohack 2 Do’Mo is designed to support natural mood elevation through amino acids that replenish these neurotransmitter pathways: L-Glutamine – A precursor to GABA, supports calm and gut-brain balance GABA – Helps regulate anxiety and promote mental ease L-phenylalanine & NALT (N-acetyl L-tyrosine) – Precursors to dopamine, the motivation and focus neurotransmitter Mucuna pruriens – Naturally rich in L-DOPA, a direct dopamine precursor 5-HTP – Supports serotonin synthesis, the neurotransmitter tied to happiness and well-being Together, these nootropic functional ingredients help create a calm, uplifted mental state to help support ease, connection, and confidence while you socialize. The result? You feel genuinely good in the moment, without the crash or cloud the next day. Biohack 3. No Refined Sugar: Because Aging Starts at the Cellular Level Sugar is the ultimate anti-biohack. Refined sugar spikes insulin, triggers inflammation, and accelerates a process called glycation, where excess glucose binds to proteins and fats, damaging cells and aging tissues prematurely (including skin, organs, and the brain). It’s not just about blood sugar and waistlines anymore. Biohackers are ditching sugar to slow biological aging, improve metabolic health, and boost cognitive resilience. Do’Mo and biohack 3 You won't find any added sugar in a can of Do’Mo. The delicious sweet taste comes from natural sources including stevia, erythritol and a very small amount of grape juice. Instead of sugar and stimulants, Do'Mo contains bioactive forms of vitamins (B3, B5, B6, C) and zinc that power up your energy and metabolism for an uplifting experience. No sugar, no energy crash, plus Do’Mo also includes magnesium (as Magtein®) and L-theanine that promote a calm relaxed mood, so your body can wind down or perk up, naturally. Biohack 4. 100% Natural Ingredients: No Junk, No Toxins, No BS Biohackers scrutinize ingredient lists like scientists because they understand that what you put in your body becomes your biology. Synthetic additives, preservatives, and artificial flavors? Those are red flags. Instead, they seek clean, natural formulations designed to support the body's innate intelligence. Do’Mo and biohack 4 Every can of Do’Mo is crafted with integrity. No artificial sweeteners, synthetic colors, or sketchy fillers. Just natural nootropics, botanical extracts, amino acids, and nutrients that work with your body. Even the natural flavorings are from source materials.  Biohack 5. Sleep Is Sacred: Biohackers Protect Their Nights Sleep isn’t just about rest, it’s where regeneration happens. It’s when your brain consolidates memory, your body clears cellular waste, and hormones reset. Poor sleep, or alcohol-disrupted sleep, is a performance liability for any biohacker. That’s why so biohackers go to great lengths to optimize their nights with blue light blockers, cooling mattresses, magnesium supplements, and screen curfews. Do’Mo and biohack 5 Unlike social beverages that rev you up or leave you wired, Do’Mo’s science-backed functional ingredients support your natural wind-down so you can transition seamlessly from social to sleep mode with functional ingredients including  Magtein® (magnesium L-threonate) – Enhances brain magnesium levels and sleep quality L-theanine – Found in green tea, promotes meditative alpha brain waves and relaxation without drowsiness GABA – Calms the nervous system and eases stress responses So when you come home from a night out, you’re already primed for deep, restorative sleep. Biohack 6: Brain Power & Cognitive Longevity: Think Sharp, Stay Sharp Ask any serious biohacker and they’ll tell you that mental performance is non-negotiable. They want to be clear, creative, focused, and keep that edge as they age. That’s why nootropics and cognitive enhancers are central to most stacks. Do’Mo and biohack 6  Do’Mo includes ingredients that directly support cognitive function, clarity, and mood regulation, so you’re not just avoiding a hangover, you’re boosting your brain to be ready for action from the moment you wake up. Cognizin®(citicoline) – A clinically studied nootropic that supports focus, attention, and memory Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) – Supports acetylcholine production, mental performance and stress resilience Zinc gluconate – Essential for neurotransmitter activity, cognitive function and mental clarity This is why biohackers are swapping their weekend margaritas for Do’Mo  and still showing up sharp on Monday morning. Biohacking Is a Lifestyle. Do’Mo Makes It More Fun The real reason Do’Mo is making waves in the biohacking community? It’s not trying to replace fun with function. Instead, Do'Mo merges the two seamlessly. You get to enjoy your rituals. To say yes to connection, flavor, and the buzz of the moment, without the metabolic chaos or neurological fallout. Whether you’re just starting to experiment with health optimization or you’re deep in the world of Oura data, red light therapy,  and NAD+ patches, Do’Mo meets you at the level you are at.. And you won’t be alone. Do’Mo has been spotted at wellness centers, day raves, flow retreats, and biohacking hubs from state to state. Do’Mo Booths at Biohacking Events  Do'Mo rocked up at three key events this year, and hundreds of you stopped the booth to sample Do'Mo and meet founders Philip Gladman and Susie Perry. Your positive feedback and enthusiasm for Do'Mo was overwhelming and left us buzzing (naturally!).

Your mood, energy, confidence, and ability to connect all come down to neurotransmitters—tiny chemical messengers that run the show behind the scenes. Understanding how they work (and how to support them) is the key to shifting from fight-or-flight to stay and play mode. Let’s take a peek inside the brain and break down the feel-good science behind Do’Mo.

Awareness is everything. With new scientific research shedding light on the cancer risks linked to alcohol, now is the time to reconsider drinking habits and explore healthy alternatives. Whether you're at a party, a dinner, or just unwinding after a long day, there's never been a better time to crack open a can of Do’Mo and discover how easy it is to socialize without compromise.

Levi Zolman shares the story of his journey to sobriety, reflecting on his work and lifestyle in New York’s vibrant nightlife scene, and how Do'Mo's Zero Proof Elixirs helped him reconnect and rediscover the joy of socializing while sober.

At Do'Mo HQ, we have always been driven by a singular vision: to redefine the way we connect, celebrate, and socailize—all without alcohol. The cultural shift we’re witnessing in social drinking isn’t just a passing trend; it’s a revolution.  Non-alcoholic bottle shops are at the forefront of this transformation, championing a movement that celebrates mindfulness, wellness,and meaningful experiences. At Do'Mo, we’re proud to be part of this exciting journey. A Shift Towards Mindful Drinking  A few years ago, I experienced a significant change in how I approached drinking. It turns out, I wasn’t alone in this thought process. According to a PBS NewsHour report, sales of non-alcoholic beer, wine, and spirits surged by over 40% between 2021 and 2023. This growth reflects a broader, collective reimagining of how we unwind and connect socially. This shift is more than a trend, it’s a cultural movement that continues to grow, offering exciting possibilities for the sober curious. And the numbers back it up: Nearly 40% of U.S. adults either closely or occasionally follow a sober-curious lifestyle (Mintel). The percentage of U.S. adults under 35 who drink alcohol has dropped by 10% over the past two decades (Gallup). One-third of adults who avoid alcohol do so due to health concerns and 70% of young adults say they aren’t interested in drinking (2022 Food Institute report). I find these statistics to be a compelling indicator of a profound shift in social norms. They highlight an increasing demand for thoughtful, quality alternatives—proof that the way we celebrate and connect is undergoing a transformative evolution. This is precisely what Susie and I had in mind when formulating Do'Mo, to offer a new healthy way to socialise. What is the Sober Curious Trend? The rise of specialist booze free bottle shops in cities like New York where we chose to launch Do’Mo, dedicated exclusively to non-alcoholic drinks, has been one of the most exciting developments of this movement. Among my favorites are Spirited Away, Minus Moonshine, Hekate and Generation NA, trailblazers that have completely shifted consumer accessibility for zero proof alcohol alternatives. I’ve found the passion and expertise of the staff at specialist bottle shops to be unmatched. They’ll educate you with curated selections of booze free cocktails, craft mocktails, alcohol-free spirits, and zero-proof alternatives that often rival—and frequently surpass—their alcoholic counterparts in flavor, complexity, and experience. Each visit feels like stepping into a treasure trove of delicious spirits, spritzers, and elixirs that make cutting back on alcohol an achievable goal. But more than that, they have built a connected community with a real family vibe.  NYC Sober Community Hubs At Do’Mo, we chose New York City as our launchpad precisely because of this dynamic community of non-alcoholic enthusiasts. These hubs are more than retail spaces, aided and abetted by pop ups like Third Place Bar and Listenbar; they're sober communities that host  tastings, mindful drinking events, and provide resources that invite people to dive into the diverse and evolving world of zero proof alcohol. It’s amazing to see how they are reshaping the beverage landscape, proving that sophistication and flavor don’t require alcohol. Building Across America This revolution is far from isolated, I recently had the joy of attending the Mindful Drinking Fest in Washington (a wonderful event which you all must go to) where I was lucky enough to meet amazing characters from East to West coast, all of whom are driven by the same passion to become a hub for the non-alc revolution. I also met Laura Silverman, founder of Zero Proof Nation who has been charting and cheerleading the sober living expansion. Want to find your nearest non-alc bottle shop? Check out her worldwide location map - here.  Why are Non-Alcoholic Drinks Gaining Popularity? For me, the decision to explore low or no-alcohol alternatives was shaped by having young children, managing an intense work schedule, and, dare I admit, the realities of getting older. Of course, everyone has their own unique living sober journey and for many younger adults it’s a focus on mindfulness and digital resources like Sunnyside, a mindful drinking app, offer great support. So there are certain common themes making the shift to alcohol-free living easier than ever: Health and Wellness: Younger generations are prioritizing their mental and physical health, viewing alcohol reduction as part of a holistic approach to wellbeing. Quality Alternatives: Non-alcoholic options have evolved dramatically. Today’s non-alc beverages are crafted with complex flavor profiles. Functional Ingredients: A growing awareness about the value of adaptogens, nootropics, and botanicals for enhancing mood. At Do’Mo we focus on functional ingredients that help build togetherness, confidence, relaxation and happiness. Non-alc bottle shops provide expert guidance on the benefits of different functional ingredients and how they shape your mood and energy, helping you choose the right alcohol-free beverage for your social occasion.   The Future of Drinking Whether you're sober-curious, looking to reduce alcohol intake, focusing on mindful drinking or simply exploring new beverage experiences, these specialized stores offer a welcoming, informative environment that goes beyond traditional retail.Cheers!  

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and Do'Mo is here to revolutionize the way we think about romance, connection, and yes—sex. Gone are the days when a cocktail was the ultimate icebreaker. The new trend? Sober sex and dry dating. Do'Mo's alcohol-free Zero Proof Elixirs are making waves by proving that chemistry doesn't need cocktails. Whether you're looking to boost intimacy, confidence, or just enjoy the moment without the haze, our functional elixirs are packed with science-backed ingredients designed to keep you feeling good, clear-headed, and fully present. The Rise of Sober Dating: No Booze, No Problem Did you know that nearly two in three millennials and Gen Zers prefer alcohol-free dates? Yep, according to a recent DatingNews.com survey, 87% of young adults believe that sober dating leads to healthier relationships. And it makes total sense—when you remove alcohol from the equation, connections become more genuine, conversations deeper, and the next-day regrets? Nonexistent.  Sober dating is on the rise, and it’s gained so much traction that there’s now a dedicated app for it—LOOSID. Designed specifically for those embracing a sober lifestyle, LOOSID makes it easier than ever to connect with like-minded people seeking meaningful, alcohol-free connections. "We’re seeing a massive shift in how people approach romance and health," says Do'Mo's Founder, Philip Gladman "People want to be present, feel safe, and still have fun—without compromising their clarity or intention." Is Sex Better When You're Sober? And here's the kicker: Science says sober sex is better sex. Alcohol might loosen you up, but it can also numb sensitivity and interfere with your body's natural responses. Leaving you pondering the question - Why can’t I orgasm?  Well, an interesting article in the New York Times links alcohol with persistent problems with sexual response, desire and orgasm in women and erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation for men.  Instead of looking for the best natural viagra, cutting our alcohol could be the answer. Studies show that both men and women are more likely to achieve orgasm when they're not under the influence. Say hello to better connection, better communication, and way better intimacy, when sober. In 2016, a study using data from 7443 discrete sexual events recorded over a 10 year period from a community of 1946 young adults revealed that “drinking on sexual occasions failed to deliver any benefit”. This research finally puts the myth that drinking alcohol improves the quality of a sex experience, firmly to bed. (1) The Science Behind the Sizzle How to make sober sex better? Well, Do’Mo helps you feel the buzz without the booze? It's all about smart, functional ingredients that work with your body's natural chemistry. Each can of Do'Mo is packed with 17 powerhouse ingredients, including natural nootropics, amino acids, and botanicals that give you an uplifting, feel-good vibe without the foggy aftermath.

L-Theanine: Found naturally in green tea, this amino acid helps you relax without feeling sleepy by increasing alpha brain waves. Translation? You’ll feel calm, focused, and ready to connect. 5-HTP: This little gem supports serotonin production, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter that keeps your mood elevated and attraction levels high. L-DOPA (Mucuna Pruriens): Think of it as dopamine's best friend. It helps your dopamine pathway for more of the pleasure and reward neurotransmitter, so you feel amazing, naturally. Magtein (Magnesium L-Threonate): A patented form of magnesium that crosses the blood-brain barrier to improve mood and settle nerves. Each can of Do'Mo contains a whopping 6 grams of 17 functional ingredients including the four mentioned above—that means real benefits, real feelings, and real connection.
