I am about to ask what I think is the stupidest question...

[heylottie]

... but ask I must.

No alcohol beer: is that really no alcohol, or absolutely minimal amounts? As in... could I in theory drink a few bottles of it?

I am not confused with the low alcohol stuff, I am thinking of Becks no alcohol which is 0.05% I think.

My head says I can, my 23 week pregnant heart says hmmm not sure...

A 'few bottles' is not 'minimal amounts' though, is it?

I've had one alcoholic drink once or twice in pregnancy, but I wouldn't do it regularly or have more than one glass a time.

It's non alcoholic. It will be fine You'd get a bigger hit from swallowing your mouthwash frankly

Exactly Littlelamb!

I had three bottles of Kaliber at a wedding once when i was pregnant.

I think what the OP is asking is is it the same as drinking orange juice ie not alcoholic. At 0.05% you would need to drink a fair few bottles to have drunk the equivilent of a "normal" strength bottle of larger.

My mum is on hardcore antibiotics and painkillers and her doctor said 'fake' becks is fine.

Too slow posting,

But why would one want to drink lager without the effects?

hehe

Cool, thanks. I like the taste of rubbish non- alco beer!I have simple tastes, easily met! And a non alcoholic beer with lemonade doesn't make a bad shandy...

About 94 of the bottles!

I got slightly addicted to Becks no-alcohol lager when I was pregnant. It doesn't taste anything like lager, but it had a loveliness all of its own that just hit the spot while sitting in front of the telly on a Friday night. Am not normally a lager drinker when not pregnant, either.

0.05% means one 20th of 1 percent - that is, 1 part in 2,000 - is alcohol. If a normal lager is 5% alcohol, that means in alcohol terms you would have to drink 100 bottles (I think...) of no-alcohol becks to equate to one normal one. If you drink say 5 bottles, you'll be having the same amount of alcohol as if you had one large gulp of normal lager. I think it's OK!

I'd recommend non-alchol Cobra beer over the Becks. Though Becks over Kaliber any day.

muffle you have just made my brain explode.

You should see mine! melted and dribbling out of my ears

Ooooh, non-alcohol Cobra! Must try and track that down! Hope it tastes more like the alcoholic version than the Becks!
Non-alcohol Becks poured in to a glass is making the pre-12 weeks pretending not to be 'not drinking' much more feasible...

Mmmm non alcohol Cobra is by far the best non alcohol beer I have tried.

My dad has been tee total(due to bad heart) for nearly 3 years and his cardiologist said it is fine. I drink it and I am 35 weeks pg.
Also Asda do a really nice range of non/low alcohol wine if you like wine.

Well done muffle, I was about to do the maths too.

Essentially what muffle says.

And what everyone else says, viz, that it tastes like piss.
