You've probably never gone half an hour without tipping a can of cooking lager into your stinking gullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the doing without alcohol part is easy enough. It's finding something else to drink instead that I find challenging. I can't be doing with the sugar in most soft drinks, I tend to avoid caffeine later in the day because I'm old and plain water gets boring. What do other non-drinkers imbibe? Ive been on non alcoholic beer since around August I think it is. Nae bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a few and not been a fan. Just as there are alcoholic beers I don't care for and therefore, don't drink; whenever I've tried a N.A. beer, I'm still thinking "This is OK, but I'd much rather be drinking something I enjoy." I know it isn't for everyone, but I 'do' like the current vogue of hoppy beer. Do you have any recommendations for non-alcoholic beers that might fit the bill?

I tried quite a few different beers before settling on Bavaria. Heineken also not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 My dry January consisted of dry white and red wine plus extra dry champagne and cava. The wife had dry gin with tonic and dry sherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that an intelligent man like you would have understood that the dry wines, champagne, cava, gin and sherry were drank separately. Living in Inverness, perhaps you make some odd cocktails when the weather is bad. I strongly recommend Juve & Camps cava - if you can get it. Avoid cheap prosecco - full of chemicals and often made outside Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It certainly was and still is. No rainfall recorded in Adelaide since 16 December. Just as well there is beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
