Kopparburg mixed fruit alcohol free cider... In a pint glass with lots of ice. Its yummy! Sorry cant help on the fag though, completely feel your pain!

AbiElizabeth · 09/07/2013 15:25

ive always been wary of the alcohol free stuff as thought it might taste odd. does it taste just like the real thing?

The kopperberg tastes exactly the same!! I don't like the alcohol free lagers as don't think they taste anything like the real thing! But the kopperberg has been my saviour at get togethers and bbqs as I have actually felt like I was having a drink with friends. Can't help with the fag! But feel ur pain!! X

HeffalumpTheFlump · 09/07/2013 15:37

It's really not bloody bad. Of course you can tell it hasn't got alcohol in it, but the other flavours are all there. It's really refreshing and perfect for drinking in the sun!

HeffalumpTheFlump · 09/07/2013 15:40

Funnily enough I actually got id'd for it the other day. The snooty sainsburies woman was so rude about it. I said to her it's alcohol free, I'm pregnant so not drinking (very obviously pregnant too) and she looked me up and down and rudely said "hmm well you are VERY young". I'm 23... Snooty bitch.

AbiElizabeth · 09/07/2013 15:41

I might have to hunt some of this non alcoholic Koppaberg down. I love the normal version Grin

I still need to try this alcohol free koppaberg but I love the amé drinks. They are like a refreshing cocktail with loads of ice. Never usually drink fizzy drinks but I'm getting a little addicted to them. You can get them in big bottles from ocado/waitrose.

Dexidoo · 09/07/2013 16:21

Definitely hunt the koppaberg down it was £1 a bottle when I did Sainsburys shop last week so stocked up on both pear & forest fruits

AbiElizabeth · 09/07/2013 16:22

I have pretty much been living off water with lemon juice squeezed in and been fine with it. Just felt so annoyed at the people in the beer garden who were having a lovely time poisoning themselves smoking and drinking.

I just want one fag and one drink. Pregnancy sucks, we have to give up everything fun

RobotBananas · 09/07/2013 16:24

No reason why you can't have just one drink, surely? (unless its early days yet)

Lulabellarama · 09/07/2013 16:25

You can have one drink surely?

Lulabellarama · 09/07/2013 16:25

I'd also say you could probably have one fag, but I'll probably get flamed.

AbiElizabeth · 09/07/2013 16:26

Well I probably could have one drink, but I would feel so guilty about it that it's not really worth it. also I have no one to sit in a beer garden with as DP is at work

HeffalumpTheFlump · 09/07/2013 16:35

I was naughty and had one drink at a BBQ last week. Made sure it was a good one too! Weak pimms with ice and fruit in it. Was so good :D

AbiElizabeth · 09/07/2013 16:38

oooooft Pimms sounds bloody beautiful. There are about 6 cans of cider in the fridge that DP insensitively brought the other day. He doesn't even like alcohol that much. I think he brought them just to piss me off. Grin

OP posts:
HeffalumpTheFlump · 09/07/2013 16:57

That is completely unacceptable behaviour! My DH is really not a drinker, but the couple of occasions he has fancied a drink he has made sure its not something I would fancy. I appreciate this very much!

And honestly, the pimms was practically orgasmic.

AbiElizabeth · 09/07/2013 17:00

We don't drink very much at all to be honest, but when the sun is out it is the done thing to go get plastered tipsy with your friends. I'm not sure even he knows why he brought them. It was a 'oh it's sunny i'll grab some of these to share with Abi later' moment and forgot that I am growing his child.

I sniffed my step mum's pimms the other day. I was in heaven.

Bless, the thought was nice anyway!

LouiseD29 · 09/07/2013 20:02

My only proper craving during pregnancy has been ice cold lager. I feel your pain OP!

That isn't a dodgy link. It's an AMAZING link

FairyTrain · 09/07/2013 20:14

Trust me you don't! I had a pint of cider last night (not much of a drinker and never drink cider). Woke up feeling like utter crap! Thought it must be Morning sickness but haven't had that in a week....then I remembered my cheeky pint!
