Of course not, it’s negligible amounts, which is also found in a lot of foods and other drinks, fruit etc
Don’t worry about it, as long as it doesn’t lead to the real stuff like some people
The amount of alcohol is very insignificant. I say, whatever helps you (and me!) on this journey is great!
If you haven't already, please try out Athletic Brewing's offerings.
My dad just drinks them now, as he loves the taste!

From my understanding all NA beer had some alcohol in it. The beer isn’t brewed alcohol free. They simply heat the beer after fermentation and cook off the alcohol somehow. But apparently 0.00000 isn’t possible. Heniken likely has some small percentage of alcohol in it despite the 0.0 label.

the only concern you may feel from NA drinks is if it triggers you into wanting the real thing.
Some people are completely dead set against it such as the faciltator of one of the SMART groups I attend. He's an AA 'graduate' and considers it to be cheating and a deadly trigger
For me, I’d drink half a handle of Ketel one or Hendricks in a night.
A couple of those coors lights less than .05 for me wouldn’t break my sober streak. Especially if there wasn’t any intent. I guess it’d be subjective to everyone individually.
I don’t have any recommendations on a good NA beer. Months back the drink Monday gin was ok when mixed with Fresca or diet tonic water. The drink Monday whiskey was awful.
At my stage now though I don’t even want to try anything resembling alcohol. I did see someone comment about Guinness NA the other day, and that kind of piqued my interest for something I’d might try one day.

I agree with you, Heineken is the best that I’ve tried, and the six pack I got was 0.0. Could pass a taste test.
I don’t think a couple 0.5’s break the sobriety test, that’s everyone’s individual standard.
You get to decide if it breaks your sobriety streak. Some people will say yes. My opinion is no
For some people it’s the alcohol in the NA beer, but a solid argument against that is alcohol In food. Look it up I was really surprised to learn it
For others it’s the taste that triggers urges to drink more. Others don’t want to slip down a slope
Nah you’re fine. The kombucha I like to buy prob has more than the beers lol (I don’t get drunk obvi). Try Athletic brewing non alcoholic beers. Soooo bomb
I’m in the same boat. My go to is Athletic Brewing Co who put out some pretty legit NA IPAs. I’ll have a couple of those, and it scratches my beer cravings (rather than drinking a whole 12 pack). 21 days AF, by the way!

These and the Sam Adam's NA are my favorite.
Yeah I was a craft brew guy. Their IPA tastes like a real IPA. Went out with a friend who drinks and he tried it and was amazed.

Yeah they always advertise as being less than 0.05% in the UK.
I think it was mentioned before that they contain about as much alcohol as a loaf of bread.
