That’s… actually pretty cool. It tells me the water itself is actually not the product, it’s the can design. They’re essentially selling a way of overcoming the very real social anxiety alcoholics can go through when they give up booze, but don’t want to give up the social lives they’ve built around drinking.
I was all ready to hate on this, but if it’s actually legitimately helping people stay off alcohol while maintaining a social life, then I can’t really fault it.
A lot of the ones I drink are only available in Denmark, but the Dutch Bavaria and the German Perlenbacher make non-alcoholic beers that taste great and (especially in the case of Perlenbacher) are actually cheap too!
Of the more pricey ones, Italian Peroni and Danish Mikkeler also have some delicious non-alcoholic ones.
There’s tons of others too, especially if you (unlike me) don’t mind a moderately to very hoppy taste.
Those are just off the top of my head 🙂
You make significant changes by implementing smaller parts over time. The important bit is they’re not drinking alcohol. They can break the association down the line. You should focus more on you and worry less about what others should do :D
My dude, they’re trying to combat the peer pressure effect of someone’s buddies razzing them over drinking a “frou-frou sissy drink” instead of grabbing a cold beer. I know it’s Lemmy, but come the fuck on.
Apparently their market is recovering alcoholics that want to feel like they’re holding a beer can when they’re out with friends.

Non-alcoholic beer exists and is available in cans. They even figured out how to make it taste like the “real” thing.
As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol anymore but still loves the taste of beer, I highly recommend it!
What brand(s) comes closest to tasting good, in your experience?
