Question

What is the purpose of drinking non alcoholic beer? I just don't get it.

Answer 1

It's very good for alcoholics.  My grandfather was a terrible alcoholic, but he quit and now he drinks O'Douls because he'll want a beer, but he doesn't drink ANY alcohol anymore.  It's a good alternative.

Answer 2

People might like the flavor of beer but may want to avoid the alcohol.  Many people also use non-alcoholic beer for cooking.

Answer 3

These days its for all those darned straight edge kids who want to look cool. or who you want to peer pressure into drinking without all the guilt the next day about ruining someones life.

Picture this, your at this awesome party everyone is drunk, enjoying the keg, then Debbie Downer is there preaching,ugh, so you peer pressure her into drinking one of those non alcoholic beers and she starts acting like a drunk.

Also helpful to get "some" cause baby you won't remember tomorrow lol.. okay... I've got some time on my hands to figure this stuff out.

Answer 4

There is no purpose!! Here's to you!

Answer 7

Answer 8

Because some people want to drink as many beer's as they want without getting drunk or for beginner's want to see what beer taste like without getting stuck on alcohol  

Answer 9

I don't either, but I have friends that do. There's just something about having a bottle in your hand while watching sports or while entertaining. Unfortunately my friends become evil and pick fights with each other when they drink so it's O'douls all the way for them.

Answer 11

Maybe it tastes good?

*I don't like the taste of beer!  (I'm not against cooking with it!)

Answer 12

My dad is diabetic and can't drink alcohol. But he enjoys the taste of beer, and with the non-alcoholic beer he can be social with family without being excluded. It's for those who like the taste, but don't want to get drunk.

Sometimes the point of drinking is to socialize and have a good time, not just to go out and get drunk. Grow up.

Answer 13

It's good if you're the designated driver or a recovering alcoholic... There are also those who've had heart surgery, and their medications won't permit them to drink ETOH.

O'Douls is the worst... the BEST is St. Pauli Girl N/A.

Amusing all the KIDS here to equate drinking with NOTHING but getting STUPID and "LUCKY".

Answer 14

Soem people like the taste of beer, but prefer not to catch a buzz.  

Answer 15

You get the beer flavor minus the alcohol,
