The DU Lounge

I always liked the taste of beer, but didn't like the alcohol buzz. So, I was always limited to 2 beers, sometimes 3, usually 1.
It occurred to me a long time ago that if I went to low alcohol beer, I could have more beers and never catch the buzz.
When Klausthaller introduced an NA amber, and it was even lower in alcohol then brands like Sharp's, I switched. Tasted better even less alcohol.
Did that for years.
Then the zero beers hit the market. As zero beers do not use distillation & re-carbonation to reduce the alcohol, the taste got even better, and it takes 30 six-packs to equal the alcohol in one regular beer.
So, that's all I've bought since those became available everywhere. There are 3 or 4 brands I buy regularly.
I'm the same way with other alcoholic beverages. In '25, I bought 4 two liter bottles of wine. I drank NONE of it. Strictly used for cooking. I went through 2 bottles of sherry, 1 bottle of brandy, 2 bottles of bourbon. Same thing; all for cooking.i think the last alcoholic beverage I had was a bloody mary when I went to see a band at the local club in mid November. Might be a margarita at the Mexican restaurant, but I don't remember if we went before or after the club visit.
No, I'm not much of a drinker.
