Why Jebus?? Why?!!!!

[MtnClimber]

That is like dehydrated water.

[Allegra]

What’s the point?

Dang it - now I’m craving a Tanqueray and tonic with a slice of lime.

[Fido969]

This is pointless.

[outofsalt]

Trans Gin? (i.e. fake)

[Leep]

Isn’t that lime tonic?

[G Larry]

I’ll put it on the shelf with Decaf coffee.....

[Joe 6-pack]

Because for hundreds of years people have been accepting the inconvenient, debilitating effects of alcohol simply so they could enjoy the great taste of gin.

[COBOL2Java]

[Night Hides Not]

Eff that. They must be going after the Karen market.

[Billthedrill]

Exactly! Now you can have all of the bitterness without the buzz.

[mylife]

Not a good combo...

[RandallFlagg]

Next thing you know, they’ll come up with an inflatable woman.

Oh, wait...

[brownsfan]

“Why Jebus?? Why?!!!!”

How did that planning session go? Let’s take something nasty that people hide with mixers to get a buzz, and take away the possibility of getting a buzz?! That leaves you with just nasty.

Brilliant!

While on vacation, I ordered a Tanqueray & Seven

The bartender spent several minutes looking through the Bartenders Guide before finally asking me what was in it

“Oh...is Sprite okay?”

Musta been AOCs brother working that day

[mylife]

LOL

I wonder what it tastes like? I’m holding out for alcohol free Everclear.

Actually, it can come in tablet form. Just add alcohol.

[70times7]

This will rank right up there in popularity with the decaf/skim milk no sweetener cappuccino - aka the “Why Bother?”

[SkyDancer]

Ditto - why? Like making alcohol free vodka; what’s the point? Go drink juniper juice.

[cuban leaf]

I get alcohol free beer. There are a LOT of tastes in there that are not alcohol. But alcohol free alcohol (which is basically what this is) makes zero sense.
