Would you drink shandy with less than 0.5% alcohol content?

I'm 16 weeks and for some reason really fancying a lager (which is strange as I'm more or less tee-total, haven't really had a drink in over a year).

I bought some very weak shandys yesterday, do you think it would be ok to have one now and again?

Bleurgh to shandy - but yes, I drank 0.5% white wine in pregnancy, think I worked out I would need to drink about 10 glasses to equal one normal glass (which I also think is ok to have a couple of times a week)!

Thanks charity girl, maybe I'll have one tonight!

Shandy with less than 0.5% alcohol is classed as a soft drink and can be sold to children with no restriction. I think you're safe there!

Can reccommend a chilled can of Ben Shaws (as sold in 6 packs in Sainsbos Wink

Yes definitely though I would probably just have a real one!

I really don't like shandy but I did drink Becks Blue (and still do occasionally when friends are coming round for the night & I want to take it 'easy').
