I quit drinking beer a year and a half or so ago and drink those lightly flavored sparkling waters. Yep. Had to quit beer for a while. Tried the NA stuff and it just isn’t good. Started popping a LaCroix (or whatever dafugg they’re called) instead. Much better.

Geno, no SPG here, I used to get the real verison in Bozeman though, the NA version would probably be nice and skunky like the Heineken 0.0.
No delivery available...
To the rest of you enablers, I gotta take a break!
(and yes it sucks!)
Yeah Sam, rural living has some drawbacks. Variety, sure we got variety. There's Romaine and Iceberg lettuce, and 3 kinds of apples. As far as "it sucks"...............................would the alternative suck worse, right?

First thought you meant "North American" If you mean non-alcoholic- I don't know. Had a pard go off the booze but he drank a lot of Clausthaler. link - some twits wrote an article Clausthaler is another decent one. If not mistaken that's a Heinie product, no? Best I ever found. Better than some “real” beers. Hard to find hereabouts.
What fresh Hell is this?

Carbonate my own water from my well, add a squeeze of lemon, lime, grapefruit, tart cherry juice, etc and make my own expensive "seltzers". I love the dang thing. Only real sodas I drink nowadays seem to be the Jarritos down at the Rubio's taco shop.

Can you add extra carbonation say something like Dr Pepper? So it really boils out your nostrils?

Tea and water in the summer, coffee and water in the winter.
Tea means iced tea for those from northern latitudes.

I am a very infrequent drinker of beer. I have a very, very hard time telling the difference between various beers. (Perhaps the problem is that I don't hold my head back so that my nose is elevated high enough in the air.) On the topic of NAs, I have only experienced one that I thought was bad. We picked up some Beck's NA in Canada, thinking that we were really going to be living high. Upon our return home we found it to be absolutely god-awful.
My apologies to Heineken, who I named as the culprit in the original post. Chalk it up to fading memory.

I tried some of that stuff back when I first quit drinking. Didn't taste too bad but just wasn't the same, plus it gave me the shizzling fits. Gave it up as a bad job.

When I hung up the beer mug I ended up going all Uncle Si. Big jug of ice tea but I don't pack it around like him I leave it in the fridge. lol
I still drink lots of tea 7 yrs later. Just went for my usual coupla afternoon Rock Stars to keep the poison quotient up and after them it'll be tea all night and a lil herbage. I started with normal tea but ended up trying the ol lady's green tea and I actually like it better, 3 bags to a gallon or so.. whole lemon squished in there, done. I'll wait now for someone to tell me where to turn in my man card. haha

And no strip clubs...lol Health & healthy relationship in mind my vote goes to H2-0, at times I'll add a slice of lime or lemon. Hot, warm, cold & iced all may work depending on conditions.

Makes it stay fizzy longer. Dr Pepper would be a hoot, hand someone a glass and tell them a joke. Stuff be flyin' all out their nose for sure!

Been meaning to try bubblifying something tastier than water one of these days should work fine?

And, when I go to the Rez station, I get a free ice tea (with a shot of lemonade) with a fill-up. (I hate gas station coffee)

LOL that's the first thing I thought of.

I drink water all day but when I get home I like to have a beer or 6,7,8...
(used to love the whiskey and tequila but that HAD to stop)
Drinking the beer has become a habit, the phony beer is simply an attempt to fool myself.

I love the dang thing. Only real sodas I drink nowadays seem to be the Jarritos down at the Rubio's taco shop. A friend of mine got one of those and went crazy with it. Later found out it was really irritating his esophagus and his Dr. told him to cool it with that as that irritation could lead to cancer. Seriously, water or some herbal HOT tea would likely be best.

Lately,my go to has been a tablespoon or so of tart cherry concentrate in a 12 oz glass, sometimes with a squeeze of lime added. I tried one of their cola deals and didn't like it. I've done some OJ mixed with some fizzy water, lime, lemon, grapefruit, and even some root beer flavoring (hated that, artificial flavors in it ) If I was you, I'd try anything I liked
