Pub Drinks for Non Drinkers (lemmy.world)

I'm doing my best to stop drinking, but my local only has Heineken 0 available. What else do you lot drink that I can reliably get in the pub, which isn't full of caffeine or sugar?

Water is about all I can think of but I'm wondering if there is something I can ask for that I'm overlooking. I'm hoping this will be like when I learned about pesto; I couldn't believe I had gone so long before eating it.

If it's a place that serves tea and coffee, there's a pretty good chance they'll do decaf or green tea.

I don't recommend drinking three pints of it, though.

If you're a regular, you might be able to persuade them to try a few other 0% beer options, like Guinness 0% or "Nowt Peculiar" etc

Otherwise, yeah, it's water or fizzy water, optionally with some juice or cordial in it.

Guinness 0% is truly top tier, its about the only one of them (out of the sparse few I've had) that tastes as good as the 'full fat' version

Partake IPA tastes exactly like any IPA.
