Next you'll be having a go at people who drink decaffeinated tea and coffee or low calorie drinks. I suspect the breweries created the drinks to satisfy an increasing demand, pubs are about more than just beer & spirits.
Not having a go just questioning the need to stand at the bar with a ' pretend " pint or drinking from a bottle that looks like real beer ...and just wondering why ?
Your looking down the wrong end of the telescope. hHaving drunk for 30 years in large quantities I don't have to pretend to continue, but I tend to / need to drive to and from most social events I attend, far further than a taxi could take me. To suddenly drink 10 pints of orange juice, lemonade, coke etc is probably quite bad for your health anyway. Its the quantity and taste element that is important, not a need to look like a 'real' drinker..!
Its not for me! I dont drink Monday while Thursday (unless we have some live music on locally), friday night tends to be one bottle, sat night a good session then sunday a couple of lower alcohol beers as its work on a monday.
Used to drink like a *******ed fish and can go out and have a few soft drinks. On the alcohol free drinks front, Tbh ale whatever sort ain't the nicest tasting beverage out there, sure as hell not going to drink it alco free.
I drink non alcoholic beer because it’s tastes a million times better than any other non alcoholic beverage available in the aforementioned establishments! I also don’t feel the need to prove myself by drinking “real” beer.
contrary to somes belief I don’t drink very much ,ie every day week or month but when I do it’s not to prove myself it’s to relax and have a laugh with some pals and I don’t worry if I ask for a soft drink if I am driving . The thing is what’s the point in trying to prove you can be alcohol free for a month or eat veg . Media food that’s all .
Wow. Im not meant to drink alcohol for health reasons. Fizzy drinks are almost as bad for you, some are even worse. I've been out with friends on a session and drunk 5 pints of water, it can get a bit boring. Drinking alcohol free tastes nice and makes you feel more like you are part of the night out than when drinking water alone. Sometimes I crave a cold beer and having a non alcoholic one hits the spot. People can make their own decisions in life. Do you ever have a couple of beers, rather than a full session to get *******ed? If so you must like the taste of it.
Love a cold beer on a nice day, couldnt imagine drinking the amounts quoted in various posts...I had relatives working in the steel works and down the mines, who needed to rehydrate and alledged drank such amounts after a shift in front of the furnaces/ on the coal face. You inadvertently have answered my original query... 5 pints of water gets a bit boring......and alcohol free .. makes you feel part of the night . I'm not a big drinker and if I'm driving I only have the one...but I can make the last inch last an awful long time, it doesn't mean I'm not part of the party.
The point of trying is to prove you are actually in control ! you would be surprised the amount of people that couldn't survive without their daily /weekly alcohol fix .I have heard loads of people that claim they could easily give it (normally after a heavy session) but give them a couple of days it is clear they cannot function .I personally think it is a great idea ! imagine if alcohol was invented tomorrow , would it be legal ?
And we think that it’s ok drinking water that’s passed through many unmentionable people and chemical processes...... we’ll it really must be good for you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
