has come a long way. even the odouls is acceptable.

i've got a drinking problem and trying to cut back quit and i've had a good day with these, and a couple few regular.

Heineken is best, 60 cal
Corona, 50 cal i think
O'douls, 50 cal i think


michelob ultra was dog pis. didnt taste like beer and it was more of a selzer, hint of watermelon

we just racked a bottle of 'cab' that is like a sophisticated grape juice

I've tried fake gin before, horrible.

It has been just shy of 33 yrs since I have had a Beer or any Alcohol, and whilst I remember Beer having a bit of a bitter taste, it did taste ever so slightly better than any of the non-alcohol Varieties. Just MHO

Zero alcohol beer has got to be the most pointless thing ever. An engine with no compression , a battery with no volts , a woman with no ...yeah well ( bloody moderators😁) .
The whole giving up the **** is a commendable thing , done it several times 😆 but there is no point in tormenting yourself with plastic beer .
I know its actually hard to find a suitable substitute as everything else is to sweet ( Im diabetic ) so I settled on diet tonic water or soda water . It was no different than arriving at a free pissup and finding that the only beer was cat **** ...after a few it all tastes good .
Round here zero % beer cost as much as the real stuff and I just wasnt having it .
Seriously Joe , good on you for seeing a problem and acting positively on it , but if you cutting out the fun side of it you may as well cash in on cheap non sweet drinks as well . Power to you my friend 🙂🙂

I have Celiac Disease, so it is gluten-free beer for me. Go Brewing has a few gluten-free, N/A beers that I keep in stock. 45 calories.

i had a total of 13 'beers' yesrday.

it is sunday, hot, putzing around the yard and building out my workshop/wife storage of all her sh.t area.

a beer in hand is required. same as working on the boat. mowing the yard.

three days on the couch after a bender is not going to be in my future any more and now that i am officially retired the odds of couch time increases exponentially.

so, fake beer it is and some out of state runs for other substitutions that TN just outlawed, again...

It all cost to damn much these days, I slowed way down when I realized after going through my credit card statement that we were spending 5 or 6 hundred a month on alcohol. It was either slow down or go back to work,
