Whoa! That's not healthy at all... ;)

I've found non-alcoholic beers are actually pretty tasty these days, moreso the longer its been since having a real beer. They definitely scratch the itch to "have something" while out socializing. I don't miss the alcohol at all.

I agree, I actually prefer them now because there’s no ill effects AND they’re generally lower calorie, too.

I do two weeks dry a quarter (versus dry January, which became silly once I moved to a ski town). My otherwise non-existent sweet tooth revs into first gear in the second week.

Wow that is a good way to describe it. For me it's constant coffee, or chocolate, or chips.
