Most supermarkets do alcohol free wine and beer. They also do a nosecco which I bought for Christmas day. We had a party for my daughter last week and I opened a bottle of alcohol free rose wine but still only drank one glass.

You are complete fine drinking AF 0.0 drinks. In fact you’d have to consume over 150 Becks Blue to equal to 1 pint of larger which is simply not possible. Fresh orange juice contains more traces of alcohol.

However, if you previously have been alcohol dependent then it’s a no simply because the taste can be a trigger for the real thing 🙁

Hi Vauxhall2019,

We live in the US, just to let you know.

My husband has cirrhosis and about a year or two after liver failure, his liver doctor said it was okay for him to drink N/A [non-alcoholic beer & wine]. Hubby sees his liver doctor every 6 months and his bloods are drawn and checked then, and so far he has maintained good blood levels, with the occasional exception of potassium and sodium, which his doctors think has more to do with his diuretics than his cirrhosis.

The best thing might be to ask your doctor.

I think other countries have different recommendation.

Best wishes,

Mary
