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.

When I had just quit, I couldn't drink alcohol free beers, it would trigger the same cravings. Now it's fine and I can enjoy a nice alcohol free IPA. And I can easily stick with one.
