How many Non-Alcoholic Beers ...

[JimBeam]

... can you drink w/o worrying about being legally drunk ?

I've never had one but my understanding is that they do contain a small amount of alcohol.

Any thoughts ?

By law, they have to contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. So however many regular beers you can drink within a certain time period without being legally drunk, you can probably multiply that number by 10-12 and find the comparable total.

Ever had one ? Any good ?

I'm trying to be more resonsible now that I have a child so I was thinking of mixing a few of those in w/ a regular beer.

Why don't you just drink Zima

Hmmm, let me see. One, two......

The real question is how many can you choke down
before you say "fuck this" and get a real beer.

Why don't you just drink Zima

Because I'd like it to be a beer.

And because I don't have any Jolly Ranchers to drop in it.

Then why not drink beer?

If you go to a good liquor store, they will have a better selection than the grocery store. All that domestic green bottle shit is heinous. Guinness makes Kaliber, which is my favorite. It's definitely not a beer, but it's a pretty good imitation of one. I call it "beer soda".

I'm a Kaliber fan too. You can almost convince yourself you're really having a beer. Buckler, made by Heineken, is my choice if I can't find Kaliber.

Buckler is definitely decent. Some of the german imports are okk as well. But I still prefer the immense variety and alcohol burn of a real beer. Long live the ales!!!!!!

I would have to be legally drunk to have one in the first place.

Zima actually has more alcohol in it then alot of beers.

Personally I dont drink beer for the taste, I drink it for the alcohol so If I wanted to be more responsible Id just drink soda.

real men drink peppermint extract.

The reason for wanting to mix in a non-alcoholic beer or a few was due to the fact that I'm trying to be more responsible now that I have a child at home.

Some of the " non-green bottle " non-alcoholic ones do sound interesting.

But when I'm at home or not responsible for traveling I'll be sure to stick w/ good ole alcoholic beer.

I know, you implied the beers that I said were good weren't in your first post. That's what I call " a taste of you're own medicine".

Billy Connolly:

"The type of thing that Connolly might talk about on stage is what happens to a pair of Scottish drunks when they go into an Italian bar and ask for a “pint of what the Pope drinks,” and promptly down a pint of Crème De Menthe and order another."
