It's really a decision you will have to make for yourself. I was a beer snob for many years, but looking back the idea that I was drinking the beer for it's "taste" was really just another lie I told myself to justify my drinking.
I did drink N/A beer for a while after I quit, and I felt the exact same way as you do. After time though, I started drinking the N/A beer just like I did regular beer - gulping, drinking fast, hiding it, etc. And I can tell you with 100% certainly that you won't drink it for the taste - it tastes like crap.
