CyderInACan Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Anybody else doing it? Lock down or not I intend sticking to it! There seem to be a lot more Zero ABV beers on the market this year too, helpfully. I did it last year and had a few Beck's Blue, that and the Paulaner (I think) seemed to be the best around. This year there's 2 decent ones from Brewdog as well as Hoegaarden with a nice AF brew. If you are doing it - good luck- prost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Tried this last year, got to end of Jan no problem and just carried on, got to the end of March. Can't say I noticed any discernible difference, but glad I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I’m not bothering this year for anyone who is keen here’s a few tips though i reckon becks blue is the best of the big brand lagers,, and it’s tends to be half the price of all the others which is a bonus. Get it as cold as possible The latter two are via my wife who had to do a bit of research when pregnant. if you like wine , non alcho red is better than white, and apparently Waitrose do the best stuff if you drink gin , seedslip do a non alcohol one for making replacement G&ts . She got served it in a restaurant once when she told them she couldn’t drink when preggers. Still about £20 a bottle tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how it goes. I drank far too regularly last year, especially in December, and have already noticed a general improvement in my sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
