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.

Yeah I am also boycotting Brewdog after the takeover farce. Finding alcoholic alternatives is no problem, but they are very good at the AF stuff.

And we're also trying to avoid all Coke/Pepsi owned products, which is almost everything sugary in a pub - fine for me as I'm not into sweet drinks, but leaves my wife on lime and soda often.

Used to be a decent craft beer company. I guess it's still a beer company but apparently there has been an infamous takeover - I'm not too much into the topic, so that's all I know - if it was an honest question.

It was thanks. I hadn't heard of it but it sounded infamous for some reason which you explained
