Alcohol free drinks

[cj123400]

Is alcohol free kopperburg okay to drink while pregnant???? I'm worried but sat in beer garden with my partner and feel left out thanks x

Bumping/watching with interest as I really wanted a non alcoholic beer the other day but when I googled it said not to. The becks ones are 0.05% so surely must be ok? There’s more alcohol in fruit juice sometimes!

Yeah they are safe no alcohol no problem.

I got a old mount cider (berries and cherries) it says 0.05% I'm sure it will be fine x

Is this even in the first trimester?

I'm 16 weeks

I drank non alcoholic becks at a BBQ last summer when I was around 18 weeks.

My sister drank the none alcohol drinks and my niece has come out fine. I drink them too at 21 weeks pregnant and everything looked normal on my scan so you should be fine.

Thankyou xx

I think you’d need to have about 60 to have had the same amount of alcohol in one g&t. I know NHS advice is to avoid it completely these days but I reckon you’ll be ok to have a couple.

I love them and sometimes have up to three several times a week.

@cj123400 I didn’t mean you were in the first trimester, I am and was asking if they were safe for me to drink now.

I only had one now I've got a bottle of water so should be fine x

I’ve just bought alcohol free kopperburg for a BBQ tonight, not worried about drinking them in the slightest.

Worrying about 0.05% alcohol is a bit hysterical 🙄 You'll be fine op

Is the NHS advice really to avoid these drinks?! Hadn't come across that!

There is absolutely no NHS advice to avoid 0.05% alcohol drinks, because they are essentially alcohol free. Fresh orange juice can naturally contain up to 0.5% alcohol.

I have drank about ten over the past couple of weeks . They are delightful.

@Rex thanks for clarifying! Didn't think I'd have missed something like that- plus it makes little little!

You could drink a glass of regular cider and be grand tbh!

Honestly no need to worry about alcohol free drinks...(!!!?)

There is a new non-alcoholic spirit called Seedlip. I tried it in a pub yesterday and it was nice. Felt like more of a treat than just a plain tonic.

Non alcoholic drinks have improved so much since my last go in 2014! I can recommend non alcoholic kopperburg, I like the pear and the strawberry and lime, becks blu and Eisberg wines. The red is pretty nice, not quite like a red but still tasty and the Sauvignon blanc and rose are lovely! The wines and beer in particular are great because they don’t taste just like juice.

If anyone is missing beer Brewdog Nanny State is amazing. It’s really hoppy and tastes like a good ale rather than larger.
A ripe banana contains around the same amount of alcohol as a Nanny State so no need for anyone to worry!

I'm 12 weeks and drinking Heineken 0% and Kopparberg alcohol-free strawberry and lime. I had a Becks Blue yesterday which I enjoyed too! Non-alc wine is disgusting though.

I was really disappointed to not like Nanny State, which is what everyone recommended for a pregnant ale drinker, so my alternative recommendation is St Peter's Without. I am so glad that alcohol-free beers are so readily available now - I so much prefer them to being sat in the pub with an orange juice!

Definitely agree re nanny state, it’s the only
alcohol free beer that I actually enjoy. A friend owns a beer shop and brought me round a selection to try and they were all pretty disappointing!

Seedlip is delicious. Easy to fool yourself into thinking you're having a G&T
