A great day today - the sun was shining, I was up early (I always used to sleep beyond noon on a Saturday), got a ton done in the garden, then went out for the afternoon with a friend to an artsy/theatrical thing in town. It was fun, and since we are both pretty socially terrible I was able to relax into it without drinking - there's a lot to be said for hanging out with people who are just as rubbish as you are ;)
I did make the mistake of asking whether they served alcohol free beer in a bar where really, I should have known it was a stupid question...I don't think they even knew such a thing existed. But when my friend asked for a J2O they'd never heard of that either, so I didn't feel too bad.
SmallPerson bought be some sweets today too, so I'm off to eat those now!
I am surprised they did not have an alcohol free beer. Even we have some in our small and dingy bars. But I personally would not risk it myself because even it says it is alcohol free, it has some (very very little) alcohol. I am afraid that the taste would remind me of what I am missing. And then... I am not sure how strong I can be.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great day!
I'm not surprised really, I think it's still quite unusual here in the land of real ale and binge drinking. I have been enjoying some 0.05% beer, but I think it's the ritual and the feel of the bottle I enjoy rather than the drink itself. I found some truly AF beer too which again is okay but...it doesn't make me want to actually drink real beer. It was a lovely day, thank you! I hope you're still going strong, it looks like the last couple of days were ok for you? xx
