If I find myself swigging an O'Doul's, rest assured, the alcoholic in my brain is getting on the bus to drive again. I prefer not to try and vicariously steal a little of my past, nor do I wish to romanticize it, which is exactly what that would be for me. I like water, milk, and pepsi myself :) |
Man this is like an age old debate in AA. I personally thing that odouls stuff doesn't even come close to approximating the taste of a decent beer, so I never have bothered with it. Yeah there is alcohol in it, but you would have to drink somewhere between 12-20 of them to have the effect of one beer.....boy howdy thats a lotta peeing since you need to get all them down in as short a time as possible. Man I just don't see the point. I used to really like crablegs, but then they tried to kill me so i don't mess with em anymore....not even the fake crabmeat....it just depresses me :) wow, sorry I just babbled on there :) |
1st off, I tried ODouls at a wedding a while back and it really left a foul after taste in my mouth. Never again, yuck! 2nd, if you are trying to stay sober why would you knowingly consume something with alcohol in it, especially with the knowledge that it could lead to relapse? Could it be because you are not willing to give up alcohol completely? Only you can answer that one. Just food for thought, enjoy your sobriety as it is just that, your sobriety! :ham3 |
