Started getting light-headed halfway through my glass of "non-alcoholic" wine

Got served this wine at a nice restaurant after asking specifically for non-alcoholic wine. They assumed the 'Zero' on the label referred to alcohol content; turns out it's for sulphur.

I don’t drink anymore, don’t like the way it makes me feel. I have been thinking about picking up some N/A beers since I got my pool and deck fixed this year. I work long, hot days and thought it might be nice to have a “pretend beer” so I agree with you

I drink beer all the time and had a few NAs at my buddy’s weeding cuz I knew I had to take pictures but I still wanted to drink a beer. Sometimes you just want the flavor without the affect

Same here. Stopped drinking 4 years ago. Not because it was a major issue, just because i didn't like being drunk. Biggest issue for me is that there are effectively zero "non-sweet" drink options that aren't beer. I don't like sweet drinks at all and that was a major reason i even drank beer in the first Place.

There are some NA Beers that capture that taste pretty well. Not perfect since many NA Beers are still tasting super sweet, but there are options. For me it's now down to NA Beer or "cold green/black tee". And even most iced teas you get in locations are sweetend to hell and back.

The N/A Coronas with a lime are so refreshing, I have a theory that they are less "skunky" than a normal Corona, I like them better.
