I'm not sure why you would want to drink the fake beer.
I think it opens all sorts of doors, and keeps booze in the forefront of your mind.. As if it wasn't there already.
I went ahead and bought a bunch of teas, hot chocolate, diet sodas, and sparkling waters.. Discovering what I liked to drink that had nothing to do with booze.
Sometimes I muddle mint and cucumber, and pour club soda over it.
Makes it fancy.
Just a thought..
