How do you guys feel about non-alcoholic beer?

I buy it. This last two seasons I keep saying that I should press my own but never get round to it. :rofl:
And we have a couple of elders in our garden as well!

I could never do it. I know it would lead me to the real thing. I have to much now to take a chance at being a drunk again.

i heard someone say ā€œnon alcoholic drinks are for non alcoholicsā€ and that made sense to me. i only drank for the effect so ive never missed the taste or felt like trying any. thats just my take though

I say depends who you are. I have two different 0% beers. Not .05% or whatever it is. I had put one in the fridge for the 4th of Julyā€¦ never touched it. The other one I had maybe 2 over labor day weekend. Still have 10 pack of 12 left and the other 5 of 6 left. I have one and it doesnt do anything to me. Maybe a couple hours later Iā€™ll want another one. 95% of the time i grab a soda cause i just dont feel the need to have another one.

I didnt include the brands since they could have been others favorite brand and didnt want to trigger.

I donā€™t see the point in it.

I donā€™t mind the NA beers, especially when Iā€™m in Japan. There, the NA beers really are NA, according to the info on the can.
I do like the taste of beer, so I buy one every once in a while. We have a couple of good ones here in Switzerland, too, one of which is a 0.5% and the other is really a 0.0% (which has a nicer taste, in my opinion). For a while (because I bought an 18-pack) I was having one each day with my lunch, but I havenā€™t lately. Not for any big reason, I just havenā€™t.
I think that itā€™s a personal thing, however. Not a problem for me, but you have to do whatever works for YOU. Tread lightly, howeverā€¦

Mehhā€¦better not drink at all, non alcoholic beer = fake beer, and there is always the ā€œdangerā€ of start drinking again.

i had it before when a craving was taking place and it curbed my desire to drink bc it didnt taste that great and i couldnt have a cigg with it. havent looked back since. i wouldnt turn my nose up at them, but i wouldnt go out of my way to buy or drink them. :heart:

I used to then I decided I didnā€™t want to spend that much money on a flavoured water that I drank at the same speed as real beer in the hope it got me drunk and Iā€™m sure someone has said this in a earlier post but it all contains alcohol so your not not drinking your just kidding yourself really.

I do sometimes, mostly like events or cookouts. Just have to make sure it is really no alcohol rather than low alcohol and I think it is fine.

I get your point there.
