Non alcoholic beer

Hey guys,
So I don't drink alcohol anymore since about a year ago. Late live been curious as to try out the alcohol free options, perhaps to satisfy the summer.
I went to the local shopping mall and bought some Bavarian 0.0% non alcoholic beer imported from Holland.
Now, I am truly amazed! It smells and tastes just like the real deal, except there is no drunkness. I was feeling really bad and guilty that I was holding this thing about to drink it, I imagined it had alcohol and I had failed myself. After the first few sips it really made me feel warm all over, calm and chilled out.
I am only trying them for this week and then I will not purchase them again until next year. It is a strong negative feeling I have towards drinking and the memories came flooding back at the tastes 
I recommend it to anyone who wants a difference.

Non-alcoholic beer is like decaffeinated coffee.. WTF is the point?
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I guess so I can satisfy my sick desire to drink. In other words so I can trick my mind and enjoy it. Honestly it tastes exactly the same minus the bitterness.
I do say try it.

I drank some when I was on anti-biotics once. I got a placebo high.

It's strange, I do feel kinda high myself. Not sure whether it's the ingredients that's causing it. Man I feel tired I've only had 2 and they were hours apart!

I think kombucha is a much better alternative to non-alcoholic beer for alcoholics. When I go off on one of my not drinking kicks, I always drink kombucha, it really helps with alcohol cravings.
But one of my good friends is recovering from a crippling booze/crack/meth addiction, and every time he comes to hang out with us, we're all drinking beer, and he brings a 6 pack of Odule's and has just as good of a time as we do.

Italian sodas are great for this too. The San Pellegrino blood orange soda is the shit.

I vote kombucha too, they can be delicious and are very healthy. Some even are mildly alcoholic and are for 21 and over only at >.5%...

What are you drinking? I got this non-alcoholic shit. What's that? A non-alcoholic beer. It's got no alcohol. - It's a beer? - Yeah, with no alcohol. But if you drink enough, if you drink a lot, they get you fucked up? No, there's no alcohol. That's the fucking point. I'm not a scientist. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I can get you a beer if you want a fucking beer.

Get OFFF THE PHONE!!!
Best part of drinking non alcoholic is being able to remember films after watching them. And being sober in general

Be careful, like some here have said...Non-alcoholic beer can for some ridiculous marketing reason actually contain less than .5% alcohol and still be called non alcoholic beer.
Anyway, my view on NA beer is that if I drink near beer, might as well look for some near cocaine....what's the point?

That's probably because it is impossible to get any sort of significant BAC from <0.5% ABV beer. Even <3.2% ABV "Utah beer" won't easily cause intoxication and is considered non-intoxicating. Anything labeled as a "Table beer" should be (but not always is) <3% ABV.

I know, I have noticed and it's enjoying. I do double check and the Bavarian was 0%. I'm pretty confident it did not contain any and I'm sure the processes does not involve alcohol filtration. When I check the suggestions I'll double check the labels.
I only wanted to try these drinks out, there is a point and it's to enjoy the flavours without being intoxicated.
Near cocaine exists, it's called research chemicals or some other shit. Plus it's in dentists like shit loads...
