Does non alcoholic wine count as "alcohol free".It says 0.05% for the whole bottle... It's actually really nice too :) |
I found there were hundreds of beverages that did not try to emulate my DOC (drink of choice), which for me was beer. So no NA beer for me. Non-alcoholic beer (or wine) is for non-alcoholics, IMHO. |

Hey Sammy I m not one for NA beers/wines etc as it's too close to the real thing (for me, each to thier own) eventually il say screw it and il go for the real thing but that's me I remember you saying about mocktails which look sophisticated and have 0.00% alcohol and it doesn't try to taste like alcohol don't think I'm shooting you down x Sober in the City: 20 Summer Mocktail Recipes to Try Now | Autostraddle |
Yeah, it's not for me, either. |
Since I drank wine to get drunk, and not for the taste, I don't like NA wine. |
If it contains any alcohol at all, it is not alcohol free. |
I don't even use mouthwash with alcohol. .05% alcohol is still alcohol. There are too many other options for drinks. I wouldn't tempt myself. And, I'm with Least - I drank it for one purpose. |
NA beer/wine is an oft-discussed topic here. It's really up to you to decide what your motivations are in drinking it or whether or not you can safely consume it. Many have reported that it leads back to drinking regular wine/beer, others drink it on occasion with no problems. You need to make the decision for yourself, no one here is "keeping track". |

Just from being around those forums for some years now I can tell you that people in early sobriety who make a big to do about drinking non alcoholic wine/beer sooner or later end end up "relapsing" on the real thing. Deep inside, they were just not ready and were still playing games with themselves. Good luck to you |
I see from another thread that today is your first day sober and that you are detoxing yourself. Do you have a plan? |
Yes. To keep off booze... |
And how are you going to accomplish that? |

You sound like some of my students. They say they want good grades, but when I ask them how they are going to achieve that, they have no idea. And in the end they usually don't do well. |

Maybe it makes sense to talk more about what it is, rather than if it contains trace amounts of alcohol. Information is the remedy here. Inform yourself and make your own decision. |

I have been sober for two and a bit years now and I have a glass of non alcoholic wine with my meal most nights and swear by the fact that it has played a massive part in me staying off the real thing. I make sure that it is chilled and I drink it from a proper large wine glass. I even take it to restaurants with me. Do what you need to do to stay sober and if it is drinking non alcoholic wines or beers then so be it. Enjoy! |

With all due respect, you know nothing about me- so why judge? |
