More beer makers are crafting up sober brews.
Brooklyn Brewery is launching its first non-alcoholic beer nationwide, the New York City-based brewer announced Tuesday. It’s the latest brewery to cater to a sober-curious crowd.

I’ve been drinking heavily for about 56 years. I recently had an MRI and CatScan for other symptoms. My liver would be fine with fava beans. A screwdriver w/ Vodka will not hurt my liver.

4 packs regular Camels & 1.5+- cases Budweiser a day.
Haven’t touched ANY tobacco and now will occasionally drink a few O’Douls if I want to hang out...

Oh, talk about ‘changing times’, I watched an old Frank Sinatra movie and one of the lines was when Frank asked an admitted ‘lady of the evening’ if those mary J cigarettes were hers and she said...
“I don’t smoke joints, I cop them’..
Movie from 1980 and would imagine that one slipped by ALL, including the censors...
Glad you are squared away with the world for yourself.
Now, that is true fact indeed.
Dae ye ken whit a mean laddie?
Me too. I never really liked the taste of beer (or anything else with alcohol). I haven't had anything to drink that was alcoholic is close to 30 years. Don't miss it one little bit.
Haven’t had a drink since 1993..

When we were little I was about 9 or 10 we used to sing “99 bottles of beer on the wall 99 bottles of beer, take one down and pass it around 98 bottles of beer on the wall”..
Labatts Blue NA My first choice
