I have seen The Light.

If we go out for a meal and take the RAV4 I do the driving so will not touch alcohol and have been pleasantly surprised at how nice some of the zero/low alcohol drinks are. Far better than having water, coke or shandy.

I have seen The Light.

I have never been a Guinness fan, but now I enjoy having the 0.0% Guinness. A big plus is that many pubs now stock it with soem even having the proper dispenser for the draught 0.0% Guinness. Oh likes the Thatchers Juicy Apple flavour which is about 4%..

Mor interesting is watching folk get the awning Down, and trying to fit it into the bag.

That when it comes to the aid of other caravanners helping my wife to put our awning away. last time out .

Try the Thatchers, 0/0 surprisingly nice.

“Seen the light”? Looks like the light was turned off when you bought those… 0.0% 😬😂

Bought a couple of weeks ago for a BBQ we hosted, still have a few left, our dog likes the Guinness. 🐈‍⬛

We tried it when it first came out at Thatchers in Somerset and neither of us enjoyed it. OH drinks the 0.0% Kopparberg pear cider and even I enjoy having a slurp.

Personally I'm struggling to see the point in 0% alcohol. It's like vegans who don't eat meat but want there mush to taste of chicken or burgers. Strange auld world we live in.

Zero alcohol is totally different from your analogy. It gives you another choice of drink that nowadays tastes quite good, as not everyone likes soft drinks or just water with a meal. Plus it allows the driver to be zero alcohol in their blood. I don’t have a problem with it, and when my wife is chauffeur I can have cask beer and a nice wine with my meal.

^ what they said

I don't like sweet drinks (which still leaves Bovril I suppose). The water in this country is not nice

Struggle with the idea of zero alcohol spirits though, a decent single malt is supposed to warm you up

I can still remember the awful alcohol free beers of the late 80's/early 90's (Kaliber was one). Today's offerings are very good, I just wished some were available in bigger bottles than the usual 330ml.

Regarding hobbies in the caravan I tend to find simply sitting around in the evening with a bottle of wine and talking is about as energetic as I get! I do take one of my bikes and cover a fair few miles while my wife gets ready in the morning though.

I drive so at least I can have perhaps a lager before switching to 0.0%. I always thought that alcohol was for relaxing enjoying company and not to get drunk? The 0.0% serves the same purpose for relaxation and enjoying company.
