Beer is one of the few alcoholic beverages where the taste difference to non-alcoholic is really small, many would even say non-existent (at least for the ones that are regularly sold in German supermarkets).
Yesterday I even used non-alcoholic pilsener in an alcoholic cocktail, there was just no reason to use alcoholic pilsener instead.
I like having my gin and tonic with a healthy dose of lemon juice and pulp, but I discovered it’s just as nice without the gin so these days I often just have tonic and lemon. Obviously it’s still a different experience so it’s not like I’d never have a g&t again
I really don’t think that alcohol free beer and normal beer taste similar at all, and I really like both kinds of beer 😀
Then you have had shit non-alcoholic beer so far. Bitburger 0.0% tastes bad. But Radeberger alkoholfrei, Nittenauer Lola Coffee Porter alkoholfrei, Härle Export non-alc, Uiltje Bird of Prey, Wolfscraft Bio alkoholfrei, Störtebecker Frei-Bier all are good non-alcoholic beers.
I never said they taste bad. I said they tastes different. If you can’t tell a difference in taste, then I don’t know what to tell you.
It’s just nice. I don’t drink alcohol but I like everything else about beer so I’m glad it’s an option. There’s also a social factor to it. Drinking soda while everyone else has a beer just doesn’t feel right for some occasions.
Though if I go out, people complain that I don’t drink alcohol and act like dicks about it. So I started vaping weed or snorting stuff and act angry that the others aren’t having some to and be like: “See how I feel?”
So I started vaping weed
That’s what I do too for social gatherings where others drink but I don’t think I’ve ever had to convince my friends to join 😅
Well I have the issue that people in my village think there is an obligation to drink alcohol at social gatherings and they start pestering you about it even though you tell them like a hundred times that you can’t drink alcohol because you had a MCNV in your eye and alcohol could cause a recidive which could make you go blind. They don’t want to fucking understand. They will be like “one beer isn’t going to do anything”.
I have two sips of wine a few months back and it caused the veins in my eye to expand putting a dent in my eyesight. A bottle of beer will definitely do something. Weed doesnt do anything. Lowdose coke or chewing coca leaves wont do anything. However I can’t have alcohol or amphetamines (also no Ritalin). I actually snort something called kanna which actually has positive effects on the veins in my eye, though only temporarily.
As an aspiring alcoholic, I find this message offensive bordering on hate speech toward my race, creed and religion.
As long as they don’t ever try to get rid of the alcohol versions, cool.
I drink about 2-3 times more non-alcoholic beer than alcoholic beer. It’s nice to still enjoy a cold beer with my dinner without ruining my sleep on a week day
