I’m doing my best to stop drinking, but my local only has Heineken 0 available. What else do you lot drink that I can reliably get in the pub, which isn’t full of caffeine or sugar?

Water is about all I can think of but I’m wondering if there is something I can ask for that I’m overlooking. I’m hoping this will be like when I learned about pesto; I couldn’t believe I had gone so long before eating it.

    They only sell Heineken, so I’m out of luck for other 0 beers. I’m not sure about the 0 spirits though, but I think it’s also a no. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Also as a separate thing, I won’t buy Brewdog. I know this makes me seem really difficult with my list of things I won’t drink:

    • Caffeine
    • Excessive sugar
    • Coke/Pepsi
    • Alcohol
    • Brewdog
    • …

      Yeah I am also boycotting Brewdog after the takeover farce. Finding alcoholic alternatives is no problem, but they are very good at the AF stuff.

      And we’re also trying to avoid all Coke/Pepsi owned products, which is almost everything sugary in a pub - fine for me as I’m not into sweet drinks, but leaves my wife on lime and soda often.

          Used to be a decent craft beer company. I guess it’s still a beer company but apparently there has been an infamous takeover - I’m not too much into the topic, so that’s all I know - if it was an honest question.

            It was thanks. I hadn’t heard of it but it sounded infamous for some reason which you explained

      If you can find it, try Drop Bear. Better than Brewdog and without the troubling social injustice (as far as I know).
