One of the most exciting things about not drinking alcohol is that I get to drink beer again (NA)

When you go as hard as I did, you can’t fuck with a lot of carbs. And you need a higher dose to get where you’re trying to go. So you go to liquor and eventually everyone gets to vodka. The only purpose of which is to get drunk.

As much as I enjoyed the taste of beer, and had so many fond memories of places and friends tied to it, I just couldn’t stomach it anymore when I boozed.

NA beer has half the calories and fewer carbs, and there’s never a reason to have more than 1-2. And there are so many brands making tasty NAs now.

So I get to actually enjoy the thing again. And have flashbacks to those fun times and places.

Guinness makes a great NA...Heineken is horrible

Agreed, but even the Heineken is a joy for me because I just haven’t had beer in so long

Far and away the best is the Weihenstephaner NA imo tastes like the real thing

I quit drinking 5 years ago. It wasn't hard to not drink, it was hard to relate to others. Now I'm over it. Life has more substance. Who makes Weihenstephaner? I gotta try it.

Yes 100%. Not poisoning myself is easy. Dealing with other people is the annoying part (although I can recognize when they’re just revealing jealousy because they’re stuck themselves)

Weihenstephaner is the brand (German import) and Hefeweizen is the style. Tastes like a loaf of bread in beer form.
