Nope. Do you think any of these non-alcohol drinks will go well with pizza or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

O'Doul's is plant vegan friendly.

Was it good?

Yes! I tried San Miguel alcohol free beer from a bottle when I lived in Spain after having my hip replacement done so couldn't drink anything alcoholic due to taking Palexia medication. I was never a beer drinker anyway but as it was so hot it was the next best thing than water. I can't drink plain water, it has to be "Sparkling Water" Never tried alcohol free wine or spirits so I'm unable to comment on those,. Correct me if I'm wrong but I find that alcohol free beer is much more common/ available than wine or spiritsdunno It's a shame really because many people love the taste of wine and spirits and they don't care if there are no alcohol in them....I brew my own wine but with a very low alcohol content.....

My consultant rationed my alcohol intake due to medication that can cause liver damage. After six weeks of treatment I gleefully had a bottle of beer, but felt rubbish enough the next day to not want to repeat the exercise.

I don't see the point in spiritless spirits, or wine that's turned back into grape juice. I see beer as less reliant on alcohol for flavour and texture, but gluten-free suits me better.

Post-pandemic, a fair amount of alcohol-free wines and spirits have been appearing in shops and adverts. I'm guessing a market opportunity opened up either because people got into the enjoyable habit of tippling over here during lockdowns, because alcohol-free production has improved, or both.

Between illness and medication (I'm not sure which is worse) I'm having a fairly miserable time of it. The occasional treat wouldn't go amiss which is why I'm asking.

I think I might settle for a water carbonator, a fancy glass and an organic lime. laugh

When I lived in Spain I thought San Miguel was the worst beer I'd ever tasted so I'm not too keen to try the non alcohol version. But Becks and Carlsberg do a good alcohol free beer.

I'd like to see more low alcohol rather than no alcohol beer, about 2% or a bit more maybe, be nice during the summer.

I wish! unfortunately I can only drink one or two beers because of medication I'm on. I sure do miss the buzz of a few pints.....

I think in ale-swilling circles that's retro-trendily known as 'small beer', possibly to make it look more manly to the working man.

I can't knock it as a way to reframe low alcohol beers and your wish may soon come true if it catches on as part of the craft beer culture.

They keep watering down Stella if that counts?

But to be honest I don't know why people don't just go to the bar and order a chocolate milkshake, something nice.
