Why are alcohol-free drinks so expensive? Some fake spirits cost over £25 a bottle! (www.theguardian.com)

Yeah, I'm quite into Lucky Saints, Erdinger Blue, Guinness Zero, and I think even Peroni have an alcohol free variety.

Me at 15: I hate beer, it tastes awful, I just drink it to look cool to my friends
Me at 25: I don't mind beer, it's still pretty awful, but it does help in social situations
Me at 35: I fricking love the taste of beer, but I do get drunk easy and don't want this to turn into a habit.

Alcohol free beer really nicely hits that spot where you're sitting in the garden, incinerating something or other, and want a nice cool bitter something to chase away the evening without the risk of getting plastered.

Wish they were cheaper. 7 quid for a 6 pack of glass bottles is a joke
