I’ve decided to give up drinking after I caught Covid over the Christmas break… sort of a “complete recommitment” to my health. Add to that, hangovers have gotten fairly brutal north of 30.

The ultimate life hack I’ve found for when you feel like a beer is Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher. They’re super tasty, zero alcohol, zero sugar, zero carbs. It’s basically seltzer flavored with hops and man is it delicious and nicely carbonated. A little over $5 for a 4-pack. Thank me later!

Runner up is Heineken 0.0, surprisingly good.

And for another healthy way to alter consciousness - weed edibles are where it’s at.

There is a super boom of hoppy or homebrew beers in the Netherlands and Belgium 0%. I mean every bar can have 5 different choices. Big difference than a bar in Southern Europe with only Heineken 0 (which is bad imo).
I've tried every NA within reach, but settled on Busch NA. Anything that tries to be an IPA or other feels like an expensive imposter. Busch kind of hits the same spot Coors Light did, which was my usually go-to for light drinking. And it's < $1 per can.
Most anything from Athletic Brewing is good as well, although they do have carbs.
Vandestreek Playground IPA is the best non-alcoholic beer I've tried so far.
Lagunitas is a Heineken brand so both your favourites come from the same kitchen so to speak.
Try brewdog's stuff if you haven't. Far fewer calories but all the taste.
100% agree on the weed gummies.
