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. Completely different circumstances but a good friend quit too and he slams n/a beer and likes it. I tried it, didn't work for me. He drinks whatever's handy O'douls, molsons that ive noticed

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. Got a Soda Stream machine a few years back. 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. A buddy had a gin and tonic habit that would of sunk the Dutch Navy. He decided he couldn’t afford all the G&T’s he was drinking so started making his own tonic on a second hand Soda Stream 😆 Was the best tonic water evah!

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. The trick, like in most of life, is to not go crazy with it. I have maybe 3 "sodas" a week on average.

Been meaning to try bubblifying something tastier than water one of these days should work fine? 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 Thanks amigo I think I'll do some experimentin..

Might have to look for a source of quinine, might keep The Corona away too.

I had to drink that NA chit in the titty bar once cause I was only 19. 2 drink minimum. I gave one away.
Same strip club that kicked me out another time for wearin a wife beater in there. Took my $5 cover charge, let me then mgr made me leave for my attire. Wtf Buddy was a plumber and went straight from work. Had that clear glue on his pants and shirt. Said he walked in the bathroom and when he walked out they’d switched to black light and you can imagine what it looked like he had splattered over his chest and lap.

Saint Pauli Girl and Beck's are the best I've had.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

Similar deal in Deja Vu at Spokane about 20 years ago. But in my bud's case I think it was real jjizzzzz....lol Damn it was funny.

Yeah, over indulged at Christmas. Must have triggered something in a bad way. Did a little Dr. google-fu and freaked myself out. Taking a break. Need to take a break regardless. Boring but necessary.

The taste & calories without the buzz? I don't get it, but to each their own. I just finished 16 days without booze, I lived. Anheuser Busch sent me a card & the local beer store called every other day to check on me though. So there are folks that will think about you.

Any carbonated beverage can aggravate your throat and guts. They are awfully acidic.
But heck man, everything will kill ya it seems.

I've been on non-alcoholic beer for several years now. O'Douls is often all resturants have. They filter that stuff through a couple Irishmen before bottling... If I can't get Becks, Clousterhaven? is a poor second. All he rest is only filtered through someone's kidneys once. Couldn't find any Becks or Clauster here in Lahaina, so I've got one bottle of a 6 of Heineken left. I'm just rebotttling it after use, and going to take it back to see if I can get my money back. No one will notice the difference. I kinda like that greenish tint to my pee from the Becks....
