DanH...respectfully, I don't think that's a good idea at all. In this case, "Near Beer" is a fallacy...JMHO. Otto would be better off with a Dr. Pepper or water or club soda or any other beverage of his choice that doesn't resemble an alcoholic beverage. Again...JMHO, and in FULL agreement with Smudge.

To add...to me, drinking O'Douls is akin to a heroine addict trying to kick THAT habit by smoking pot, with the justification, "At least it's not heroine." In the words of LT Daniel Kaffee, "See where I'm going with this?"

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

OK. One of the things that's kept me from alcoholism was asking myself if I would still drink whisky if it gave me the same buzz as a Sprite which has always kept me from "drinking for effect."

I've also not been that far down this road, either.

Are you finding any of these to be true?

Have you experienced any of the mental or physical side effects?

Sorry, just being an ass to make a point. "WE" is much easier, I promise.
