With Global Alcohol Consumption Declining, ArKay Leads the Sober Revolution That's Saving Lives
MELBOURNE, Fla., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As alcohol consumption falls across the globe, one brand is emerging as a game-changing force in public health, personal choice, and road safety: ArKay Zero Proof. Available in over 35 countries and served in thousands of bars, lounges, restaurants, and hotel chains, ArKay is redefining the drinking experience — without alcohol and without compromise.
According to the World Health Organization, alcohol-related traffic accidents cause over 1.3 million injuries and deaths annually. ArKay offers a practical, scalable solution: zero-alcohol spirits that replicate the taste and complexity of traditional liquors — without the risk of intoxication.
In 2024, ArKay served an estimated 10 million bottles to:
Designated drivers
Pregnant women
Sober professionals
Health-conscious consumers
Each bottle served represents a potential drunk-driving incident averted.
"We don't just sell zero-proof spirits — we sell peace of mind," says Reynald Vito Grattagliano, founder of ArKay Beverages. "Every bottle of ArKay poured is a chance for someone to get home safe, stay sober, and still enjoy the moment."
