Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi Don, tell you what, (and I don't want on pop any body's bubble) from my alcoholic side of the fence, (I am most bias on this subject) all I can say about non-alcoholic beer is "What's the point?" I mean for me it would be like drinking Scotch with out the alcohol, and if we're talking about something with a low alcohol content, well I would just drink all the more. Bottom line for me is that this stuff would be nothing but a torturous teaser. Life goes on very well with out alcohol, and for anyone with Hep-C and liver decease, it's the only way to live. Alcohol is alcohol no matter how little, and any alcohol for us with Hep-C is a big NO NO! Why play with fire? I have heard the reasons why people drink non-alcoholic beer, and I think that every one of them that I have known, eventually went back to drinking the real thing. That's my story, and I'm sticken to it! Rick.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Well Don,, I actually "LIKE THE TASTE" of it with mexican food.. so for me, its NOT about the alcohol but the taste.. but I dont drink often because I was successful with tx . I spoke with Dr. Cecil about it after I'd been clear 2 years,, and he said I could maybe drink one per month but if I had a problem with alcohol, I shouldnt have any... well I DONT have any problem with alcohol and I have limited my alcohol intake to ONE drink PER SEASON or 4 drinks per year.. but I have never had those 4 per year.. I think I have had 2 drinks in the nearly 4 years since I finished tx. Once just to toast at a wedding, I had ONE SIP of champagne.. and once I had a glass of wine with dinner.. but even then, I decided that its NOT important to me to drink it.. but I DO LIKE the TASTE of non alcoholic beer.... I just dont partake..Don Hoskin <eust2be@...> wrote: I hate to do this, but there was a recent thread that encouraged the use of non-alcoholic beer as a replacement for "real" beer.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi Don, For this very reason I quit drinking all non-alcoholic drinks a long time ago. In my opnion, alcohol is alcohol and just not worth it.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Very true about wikipedia but it says right on the bottles of beer that they are .5%, that is where I made my determination from, not wikipedia. I felt it was a personal decision for me and that if others want to go ahead then great. I am even careful about extracts unless I am cooking. I used to use them in protein shakes till I realized that even artificial extracts have some alcohol in them. So, I only use them for cooking now.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Rick, I have a 40 something son who would totally agree with you. He's tried a couple of times not to drink and the non-alcohol beers are just a teaser. He doesn't drink for the taste, he drinks for the alcohol, as all alcoholics do. It's the EFFECT that they crave, not the taste.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I don't know if it will harm or not , but I can tell you this: If I am suffering from malnutrition and I need to get some calories in my system stat, I'm going to put on my Irish hat and have a pint of dark Guiness. Now mind you, the last time I had a pint was in 1983 and I don't forsee myself becoming emaciated anytime soon. However if I go to mass, say my prayers and throw money in the collection plate, maybe God will afford me the chance to have another pint without all the drama!!! lol >> I hate to do this, but there was a recent thread that encouraged the use of non-alcoholic beer as a replacement for "real" beer.
