It’s been said that non alcoholic beers are for non alcoholics. :laughing:

Yup. After mowing the yard I have 1

I've seen people relapse after using "non" alcoholic beer and others that do it for years without harm. Seems risky.
Would you smoke hemp ? Snort white vitamin powders ?

I use it as a prop when I go out with friends. It's way easier to say" Athelitic IPA" than " can you recite the non alcoholic drinks you have here?"
But watch out...there is booze in there.

I have tried "alcohol free" wine and beer on several occasions and its lead to a relapse every single time. For me the habit of drinking was still there and I was just masking it with "alcohol free" beverages. I never got rid of the actual obsession of it all. I needed to change my whole routine.

That’s probably the best tasting one imo

It’s very very rare but I have. Bud zero is the only one I like.

I haven’t tried nonalcoholic beer or mocktails because it feels risky for me. I drank mostly for the effect so my brain and body associate the taste with a certain feeling. I imagine after a few and not feeling a buzz, things could start going downhill. But everyone’s different—if it works for you and helps you feel better, then go for it!

I don't mess with that. Why would I want to do that to myself? Makes zero sense to me. It's like I'm pretending I can drink alcohol. Pretty much any regular drink tastes better than a non alcoholic beer. The risks far outweigh the reward if there even is a reward
