I enjoy that there is now so many options to share a beer with someone without the alcohol, but I am one and done. It’s calorically like drinking full sugar soda and most bars I’ve been to that sell cans tend to charge as much or more than a regular beer. Rather just drink water or seltzer at that point.

This drives me insane. There are no sin taxes on nonalcoholic beer yet they charge the same or more at the retail point. There’s just more profit, which is ridiculous. If they want people to switch they shouldn’t gouge them for doing so.

Soda water and bitters is a good hit too. Bit more interesting than plain water, every bar will be able to make it, seems to help with an upset stomach too.

Bitters contain alcohol for those that are strict abstainers, but it’s a good trick for everyone else.

Yes, angostura bitters are 45% ABV, though your typical soda water bitters is made with just a few shakes and could be given to a child without batting an eye.

Good shout though, not sure how widely known that is.
