PSA: non-alcoholic beers have gotten way better since your gramps drank O'Doul's for two years before he fell back off the wagon for good and started deliberately hitting women with his grocery cart at price chopper.
PSA: alcohol free wine on the other side is still utterly undrinkable.
LPT: Feels good to switch to alcohol only 1-2 per week.
I do not understand why more restaurants and shops are not pushing premium sparkling grape juice, apple cider, and ginger ale for when you want something to pour into stemware with dinner. So many restaurant's only alternative to a bottle of wine is cheap HFCS-based soda.
I mean, as a non drinker, I fucking love Martinelli Apple Cider. At events, my alcoholic grandparents would always have it for kids too young for wine (to them, 10yos) and I just kept drinking it into adulthood.
Granted I also found better conversation with my kid cousins over my other relatives, but that's an added bonus.
Martinellis cider is my favorite part of holidays, haha! It's just so much fun!
Probably because most people who choose not to drink wine simply choose to drink water. The restaurant buys a case of the cheapest NA alternative they can find for the one person who comes in twice a month and wants some.
I quite like grape juice.
Agreed. I still prefer a real one in most cases, but the NA options taste identical in some cases and there are a ton of NA options that taste great. I’d not have given them a try if my friend hadn’t stopped drinking. Glad he did and I may follow his decision in time.
The Heineken 0.0 is practically indistinguishable from the real thing.
That's cause Heineken was indistinguishable from sparkling water all along.
I prefer it over Athletic NA beers that taste more like herbal water than beer to me lol
I’m sober and sometimes one of those Heineken 0.0 just hits the spot when I’m out with friends or otherwise would have drank.
You know what? Your comment just reminded me that I've put off quitting for way too long, now.
The half gallon of beer I drink every night really isn't fun anymore.
I will not drink with you today!
I will not drink with you today, friend :)
They're called Market 32 now, thank you very much!
