Nah, it's got to be someone with Italian heritage.

A Bloody Virgin Mary?

I suppose this could be considered sacrilege in 'The Brew Room', but here goes.

I like a drink. A nice Cider. Decent beer or lager. Particularly partial to a nice red wine. But if I'm honest - I was probably drinking a little too much, without having x (Whatever the latest guidance is) nights off of it in a week. This and various other reasons made me decide to cut back a bit (Not completely, but that's not the point).

The oint is, without alcoholic beverages, I'm left with squash, fruit juices, water, coke (The fizzy stuff not the snorty stuff) or low/no alcohol options in the evening.

I've tried Thatcher zero cider - very good really once you get over the slightly meaty tatse.

I saw @slim_boy_fat recommend a low/no alcohol dark beer - and it got me thinking - can any of you recommend any decent tasting low or alcohol free alternatives? Particularly Red Wine - as that's the one I can't see the suppliers have got right just yet.

I've had to give up booze as my liver function was not great. Having tried a lot of low alcohol beers I can recommend Adams Ghost ship 0.5%, it's also pretty cheap from Asda and Tesco's.

The Guinness 0% is a fair copy if you like Stout.

There's a great choice these days so fill your boots

I drink beer, or Tesco blackcurrant squash. Several pints a day of both.

Any fake beer is probably loaded full of sugar, so if it's got no alcohol in I'm not ingesting the sugar without the buzz. That's just plain unhealthy.

Actually not true for all of them, I'm trying to reduce my sugar intake as well as Alcohol and some are very low sugar.

As with all food check the nutrition label.....

I remember from my Guinness drinking days as a youth that the cans were not a patch on the draft stuff. Has that disparity improved now and is 0% also available on draft?

Isn't that on a par with telling us to read instruction manuals?

Guinness doesn't travel well - it tastes much better in Ireland....

I'd like to find a low sugar beer, with normal alcohol content. I've heard they tend to be stronger because they sugar has been turned into alcohol, but trying to find which ones, and where to get them, isn't so simple.

I went to Dublin a little while ago, never touched Guinness before, but spent 4 days consuming almost nothing but, and now it's my most drank drink. I can't imagine it's any good from a can, nothing ever is. IMO the only canned beers worth drinking are the weird overpriced ones you never see draught.

It's passable, but nothing like draught. Even draught in this country isn't quite the same - maybe it's the craic which comes with it in Irish pubs. I've had several memorable golfing holidays in the Republic.

I read the thread title and automatically put a comma in. Most disappointed!

Being a creature of habit i have a pint of iced water with the juice of a whole lemon every night before my meal...sets me up for my munch

I actually had a black guy come up to me handing out flyers for a Jamaican/Italian fusion place. He referred to it as exactly that.

A Bloody Virgin Mary?

Yeah you are right! - "Bloody Mary" without the Vodka.

To be honest I don't like "Bloody Mary's" with Vodka in it - I would rather have the "Virgin"

If I have Vodka and it not that often - I have it with bitter lemon in it...

Pint glass of tap water - with Jif lemon or lime juice - or freshly squeezed orange/lemon/lime/grapefruit juice is OK.

I've not tried any let alone made any but kombucha might be worth exploring. Quite the interesting drink if the hype is to be believed. And, should be relatively low sugar, no weird additives and potentially a boost for the ole gut microbes.
