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.

Ask for a glass of tap water and tip $10

You'll likely get free non-alcoholic drinks free the rest of the night.

I'm 10 years sober... I started the tip thing because I didn't think it was fair to go to an establishment, listen to the music, enjoy the scenery, and pay nothing to anybody. Especially because I cannot emotionally justify spending $7 on a diet pepsi that's 60% ice.

Didn't really realize it was going to happen, but it seems like staff really appreciates that and then treats you really kind in turn.
