Do you feel there is a difference in the philosophy fake alcoholic beverages? Some people have a problem with people in recovery drinking fake alcoholic beverages.

Personally, I don't see a problem.

By the way, the zero alcohol Guiness is, to me, indistinguishable from the poisoned version. You know, except for the life destroying consequences of drinking alcohol.

I drank them more frequently the first few months I stopped. (Almost a year ago). I had a great ginger mocktail (real ginger!) for my birthday last October. Haven’t really had the urge since. I do keep a bottle of alcohol free wine at home for those wine and cheese nights out with friends.
