To Beer Or Not To Beer.

[karatant]

Recently had a course of penicillin, no alcohol allowed, so, after a daily consumption of 4 or 5 pints of real ale a day decided to go for the non alcohol beer for a week. Far from this proving a hardship, I found I much preferred my life without that fuzzy edge on reality. That was back in September. I haven't missed it at all and so continue with the zero percent drinks. My question is does this render the drink less harmful , say about the same as an all natural fruit drink or so, or ? Thanks for your indulgence and thanks in advance.

It matters not, both beer and Non-alcoholic are allowed during a course of penicillin.....in moderation.

Surely the alcohol is the harmful bit, so if you have managed to cut it out carry on with the alcohol free beer.

I know where you are coming from. I used to stopover in Saudi Arabia, and didn't like having soft drinks. I therefore drank the non alcoholic 'beer'.
They weren't even allowed to call it beer, so it was a well known brand - labelled malt brew.

It's the alcohol that damages your liver. If you like the non alcoholic just stay on it.
