Honestly woulda been great this weekend. I wanted a nice cold beer while I watched soccer all day, but I just got a tattoo and I don't want to interfere with the healing process by boozing it up. So if there are non-alcoholic beers that taste like good beers, woulda been great.

And honestly, if they have less carbs and calories than regular beer, it might not be a bad idea to switch at least some of my beer consumption over. I would assume fewer calories at least. Probably still got a lot of carbs though, which is why long distance runners use them to recover.

The alcohol would cook off either way.

Some years ago there weren't many good options. Now there are several non-alcoholic beers that are really good.

May as well drink some type of iced tea or lemonade at that point if you want a non-soda refreshing beverage.

Iirc there are some "non alcoholic" beers which in fact do have an actual readable ABV percentage, but which are so low you would have to drink something like 10 (or more) of them to match 1 Budweiser. Idk, I read up on them out of curiosity a few years ago.

Obviously if you're only drinking beer to get drunk then it's useless. But then so is beer, you could drink literally anything with alcohol

That's a common misconception: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/11/alcohol-doesnt-really-cook-out-of-food-in-most-cases/
tl;dr - In terms of preparation methods and times, their results were as follows (all of these assume the temperature is above 173 F, which is the boiling point of alcohol; also, the size of dish and contents of the food mixture affect the results, so this is just a general guideline):

The highest rates of retention were with alcohol added to boiling liquid and then shortly after removed from heat. In this case, the alcohol retention rate was around 85%.
The second highest alcohol retention rate came when using the flaming method of cooking, which resulted in around a 75% retention level.
When using no heat and storing overnight, about 70% of the alcohol was retained.
When baked for 25 minutes with the mixture not being stirred, the retention rate was 45%.
When baked/simmered where the mixture is stirred, produced the following results:
15 minutes 40%
30 minutes 35%
1 hour 25%
1.5 hours 20%
2 hours 10%
2.5 hours 5%

The actual alcoholic beers that non alcoholic beers try to emulate taste like shit to begin with. No point in drinking them if you're not getting gassed.

Don't really see the point. I don't like the taste of beer at all, so the only reason is to get a buzz, which you can't do on that

But if you like it, that's fine
