Personally, I have no interest in alcohol free beers. I just don't see the point. I really enjoy 1 to 2 sodas a day. I haven't felt the need to drink 12 or 15 Pepsi's either in one day. I say go out to the store tomorrow and look for a good deal on Pepsi. I have a feeling that I would drink the non-alcoholic years the same way you did. It would remind me too much of drinking.
