You're probably going to find that the majority here will tell you that de-alcoholized beers (and wines) have alcohol in them and therefore a 'no-no.'
Being as I'm never (well hardly ever) a member of any majority (in fact, I usually think.....: just because a majority says something doesn't necessarily make it so; it could be that all the fools are on the same side......lol), for the past 21/22 years of my sobriety/recovery (22 years next month), I have had the occasional de-alcoholized beer.....no problems (ie, leading to a full-fledged relapse, etc.).....I have other recovered friends who also have the occasional de-alcoholized beed, and I have some friends who don't.....One might ask, how occasional.....? Well, when I moved into my new apartment last October, I bought two 6-packs for my new frig -- st paulie and kaliber, and as of today there are still 12 left.....guess I haven't had an occasion yet.....

The main thing, for me anyway, is stamped on the annual medallions.....: To Thine Own Self Be True.....!

P.S. .....my only statement to you would be (tongue in cheek, that is)..... O'Douls.....? Yuck....tastes like I might imagine warm ^%$ might taste.....for me it's imports or nothin..... (o: |
