Even as a white guy with citizenship, coming back into the US was a pain in the ass 10 and 20 years ago.

Boomers pulled up the ladder behind them.

I have been enjoying sparkling water flavored with hops. It's distinctly different from non-alcoholic beer, and much better IMO.

Unsweetened iced tea and cold brew coffee are also standards in my kitchen during summer. My significant other likes kombucha enough to make it at home sometimes, but I never liked the stuff myself.
