I actually think it's okay to drink NA beer. However, I think it tastes horrible and so would never do it.

There are non-alcoholic wines out there, too, that have less than 0.5% alcohol. I have tried them and they taste like grape juice -- sweet and nothing like the wine I used to love. I don't even put them in the same category as wine.

I agree with everyone who says your sobriety is your own and no one else's. I can see from this thread that people get too caught up in dates and chips and things like that. The important thing is that you are still sober! This isn't a contest to see who can consume the least amount of alcohol in their foods and medicines.

Seeing a thread like this makes me hesitant to get a sponsor. There's a fine line between support and mind control. I will stick with AA for the fellowship and support that it gives me -- I have no complaints yet but haven't gotten into the chip thing or anything like that - not sure that I want to!
