    I hate beer, so with non-alcoholic beer, I just don’t see the point at all. Tastes like crap, and doesn’t even give you a little buzz. 😅

      Do you like non-sweet cold drinks that are not water? Non-alcoholic beers tend to be the only option in that regard (and even then most are too malty for my taste).

        I can’t think of many non-sweet cold drinks that aren’t water lol. Maybe ice tea? I like that. But I never drink that tbh. I mostly like refreshing fruity beverages like juices and lemonade and stuff like that. I do like alcohol-free ginger beer, that’s nice.

        On occasion, must, as well.

        If I go American, root beer and cream soda are probably my two that I can drink from that region. 😅 But those are obviously sweet.

          Yeah self-made iced tea (industrial iced tea is usually chockfull of sugar) is great, too, but is not as readily available as a bottled drink unfortunately. A sugary drink on a hot day just makes me feel more dehydrated than before.

          Corona Cero might be my favourite. Non-Cero is already a rather light corn beer, but Cero is the perfect summer drink.

      Just to add a data point, I don’t drink alcohol but I do find a light beer if the summer, or a stout in the cool times, really enjoyable. But obviously if you don’t like the taste then you don’t like it!
