'The Bear in Winter is an alcohol-free game. However, with the assistance of a little role playing, we will maintain the illusion of alcohol. The role of "vodka" will be played by plain water, run through a Brita filter. The role of "red wine" will most likely be played by lingonberry juice diluted to the appropriate color. The role of "white wine" will most likely be played by apple juice. "Scotch" and "Port" will be played by water diluted with an appropriately colored syrup. Special Guest Appearance of champagne will be played by bottles of sparkling pear juice.
The role of "soda water" will be played by itself.'
