nolo adjective
UK /ˈnəʊləʊ/ US /ˈnoʊloʊ/
(of a drink) containing no alcohol or a very low amount of alcohol
The global nolo (that’s no- and low-alcohol, for those not in the know) trend has been gaining momentum in recent years, and in Japan, it’s estimated that alcohol consumption has halved over the last decade for people in their 20s and 30s. Forget the stereotypical drunken salarymen – with the exciting range of nolo bars and drinks, it’s a great time to cut out the hard stuff.

For those who are also interested in the German language: the German equivalent “Teebombe” has already been in use over 100 years ago. Then (in WWI) a company called “Teekanne” provided handmade tea bags with tea and sugar to German soliders. Her is a citation from the Aachener Zeitung; Auch der Teebeutel ist eine Erfindung des Ersten Weltkriegs: Mit der sogenannten Teebombe versorgte das Düsseldorfer Unternehmen ” Teekanne” die Soldaten an der Front. 28.6.2014
