    Hello , just wondering how easy is it to get non-alcoholic beer in offlisences or supermarkets in cork ... I'm 17 and am happy to say that I haven' tdrank a drop.. but over x-mas i was thinking that maybe a few non-alcoholic beers might be a nice change from the usual ginger ale.... Are they expensive and are they available to all those under 18 years of age ??
    Thank you .

    Not an expert myself (thankfully!) but in my experience Becks Non Alcoholic probably the nicest i've tasted and usually easy to buy in bottles anywhere, surely no problem to buy for a 17 year old, they do contain a trace of alcohol, think usually 0.3% or so but cant imagine you have to be overage for that?

    They aren't available to those under 18 as the teeny amount of alcohol counts. They cost around the same as ordinary beer.

    Imo, Becks Blue(non-alcoholic) is mank. Erdinger do a non-alcoholic wheat beer which might worth checking out.

    A lot of fizzy fruit drinks have alcohol in them as well, there's very few people who have "never touched a drop" in their lives, don't worry about it.

    They always have a small bit, usually 0.3%-0.5%. It's pretty impossible to take it all out.

    That's de-alcoholised if its up to 0.5. Bit lame as its only 2 bottles to match regular beers

    Most labelled 'Alcohol Free' are only about 0.05

    If anyones a wine drinker, Tesco sell cartons of Red Grape Juice, and its EXACTLY the same taste as wine!
