Actually, just all this talk about beer and wine has more trigger value than the N/A stuff we are talkin' about.... hmmm, go figure!!
BTW ... I think there are excellent points on both sides of this (re-occurring) debate
... I would never encourage experimenting with it and would dissuade those early on in recovery...
But there was another point that was a fresh take which deserved discussion and I think some caution on the part of the OP...
That somehow the ability to drink the stuff and not be triggered suggested the possibility that maybe, he is not alcoholic. I was struck by that point
