    Does anyone know if there is any place in Ireland that sells O'Doul's non-alcoholic beer?

    I've tried pretty much every offie in Cork to no avail, but I'm wondering is there a 'specialist beers' place, or something, somewhere else in the country that might sell it.

    Remember in Futurama when the professor developed a hat that gave his monkey super intelligence?? There was a scene where Fry offered him a banana and the monkey said 'I don't eat bananas- I prefer banana flavoured energy bars made from Tofu'.

    That to me summed up my thoughts on no-alcoholic beer...

    There is a tiny bit of alcohol in it too, just to warn you if you're a purist. I like it!

    I haven't seen it anywhere.

    Maybe so but if I wanted to drink, I'd drink. I don't secretly want to drink or have to find an alternative...

    I have and I agree with yeah, it's got to be one of the nicest NA Beer's I've tried - had it in The Bahamas - I doubt if you can get it in Ireland though. I can also vouch for Super Bock Non Alcoholic(Sem Alcool in Portuguese), there might be a better chance(still slim) that you might come across that somewhere in Ireland.

    As a recent ex-drinker this is one of my dilemnas tbh. I get p'ed off with soft drinks but I really don't want to drink alcohol (ok I know there is some alcohol in these NA beers - I'm obviously not a purist ;) ), I still find it easier to drink NA beers than soft drinks -but a part of me thinks am I just having a reminder of what I used to be like.

    I've seen this often with designated drivers that you will still feel compelled to go 10 rounds of soft drinks with your mates:D On a night out I'll have 2-3 soft drinks tops.
