I mean, come on!

Who drinks beer unless it's to get drunk/tipsy?

Who drinks coffee except for a caffeine rush?

:P

to pass the time

Decaffinated coffee is worse. Non-alcoholic beer can be drank for the taste. And it is always fun to get a freshman to think they are drunk off of non-alcoholic beer.

I vote non alcoholic beer but I really hate non caffenated coffee though.

I get coffee on the way to school but I think the guy at the stand sometimes runs out of caffineated coffee and just gives me the non caffinated kind without saying anything about it. It is one of those things you always suspect, but there is no way to prove it which ends up driving you crazy for the rest of the morning. If I was in Iraq I would blow up his coffee stand for his treachery.

Both are equally bad. I can't imagine drinking either for taste value. Yuck. Then again, that's just me, and I also hate the taste of peppermint.

is it true that in the u.s., coors light is 1.1%?


'cause here, non-alcoholic beer is 0.9%.

I rarely drink beer to get drunk (maybe once a year). I drink Guinness Stout for the taste. Only on draft, never in a bottle or can (I'm a beer snob). Also, I used to drink espresso, again for the taste, but I can't handle the caffeine anymore, so I switched to tea.

No Coors light is a normal beer like 4 or 5%. Non alcoholic beer is like .5%. The really retarded thing is you still have to be 21 to buy it though. I don't know what they are afraid of, some kids buying a 30 pack and funnelling it down real fast and they might get a tiny buzz or something?

Nope, nevermind, non-alcoholic beer is much worse. You can't add cream and sugar to beer to make it taste better.

Then again, that's just me, and I also hate the taste of peppermint.
Heathen!

Coffee tastes like dirt, why drink it if you don't get the caffeine?

I'm allergic to peppermint, believe it or not.

Heathen!

hey now, different strokes for different folks!

ah, well, you're not missing much!

non-alchoholic beer. What the hell is the point?

I put decaffienated coffee, but I think that is just because of the packaging/way that it is served. I mean, it is very rare (as in I don't know of it happening) that goes around offering beer to someone and then pours them non-alcoholic beer out of a generic, un-marked beer container.

Damned decaf coffee is snuck on people *all* the time. There should be fines imposed for failure to warn people about fake coffee.

I knew it! I think I am going to write the old congressman a letter about this; if you serve someone decaf and they don't ask for it you should be sued for coffee salesman's malpractice! I have a big test monday morning, the last thing I need is some warm brown water with no caffine in it.

I tend not to drink Beer or coffee.

I drink Whiskey and Jolt instead.

Decaffeinated, light Coke.

You're all wrong!

Sugar-free sugar is the worst abomination! (followed closely by salt-free salt). Not only is it crap, but your body has no idea how to process it, doing untold damage to your liver and kidneys.

I'm alergic to alcohol but I would never drink non-alc beer. I mean, whats the point? Having said that I voted for coffee as I do drink that and I think if you don't want caffeine, here's a tip, don't drink coffee.

Is the salt-free-salt and sugar-free-sugar really that bad? Good job I don't eat them then.

Decaff de-sugared cola... wtf is that all about?

(I voted for non-alc beer. I've tasted it. It's gross. It's nothing like beer except that it is yellow and has bubbles in it)

The sugar-free-sugar is. The salt-free-salt I was referring to is actually low-sodium, so it's mostly KCl instead of NaCl. Not bad for you, but a bit pointless.

Coors Light is just bad. It doesn't matter how much or how little alcohol it has. Might as well drink club soda for all the beer taste it has.

Decaffeinated, light Coke.
I think I can one-up you there. Pepsi produced some sort of clear cola once upon a time. Decaf, sugar-free, clear cola is about as bad as it gets.

In 1988, Hershey introduced a product that was quickly removed from store shelves. It was a bite-sized chocolate morsel, with liquid cocoa inside. It was tasty, but had an unfortunate piece of marketing attached to it.

It was called the "Hershey Squirter".

They need to rerelease that, it would be an instant hit.

Like something else...
Anyways, I agree, non-alchoholic beer is just nasty.

I have never even heard of non-alcoholic beer.

But people drink beer for reasons other than drunkeness. Some beers are nice, and if you really just want to get drunk there is a wide variety of stronger drinks.

idk about you, but i DO drink coffee for the taste, the caffeine is merely a bonus. I like black coffee and black espresso.....

Coffee is, as you point out, consumed mainly for the caffeine 'fix'. I do exactly that!

But I think alcohol is responsible for so many problems that non-alcoholic beer is a great thing.

In some ways I'd suggest sugar-free fizzy drinks and sugar-free chocolate.

Has anyone here ever drunk Kaliber? (Premium non-alcoholic, made by Guinness.) Unlike all other non-alcoholic "stuff", it tastes great, better than about 75% of the "real" beer I've drunk. Very malty.

I guess I don't understand the idea of drinking beer for no reason other than to get drunk. Why not just inject yourself with alcohol and be done with it, rather than suffer through choking down something that tastes bad (and if you like the taste, then you're obviously not drinking just to get drunk)?

There's something wrong with a country in which freshmen (or other people in the same age group) don't know real beer from the non-alcoholic. But, hey, the people that think that Anheuser-Busch catpiss is the real Budweiser can't be helped.

In some ways I'd suggest sugar-free fizzy drinks and sugar-free chocolate.

What about chocolate-free chocolate? And don't forget milk-free milk. Oh, they aready have that, though they call it fat-free.

I can see the sense in what many of you are saying, but my personal philosophy is if I don't want to get intoxicated, I don't drink alcohol or even substitute alcohol. I'll have a cola, or an OJ.

Coffee is harder to define, though. I do actually know some people who drink it for the taste, but the vast majority of coffee drinkers I know are simply trying to wake up in the morning, or make it through a long work day (myself included). I will admit, though, that I have had some very nice tasting coffees, but they're a little wasted on me, since cheap'n'nasty instant caff does the same job.

Each to their own, though.

Coffee doesn't taste like dirt unless you're drinking some shit like Sanka or eating the grounds.

taste? TASTE?? TASTE!?!?

that's beer you are talking about!! beer is only good to get drunk!! i have yet to meet someone who discerns between a subtle, yet dry taste of one beer, and the strong, enticing taste of other!! I mean come on!! fat guys at frats drinking beer for its taste? no way!!

although having freshmen think they are drunk off of non-alcoholic beer sounds cool enough to allow that hideous shit to exist

Its obvious... Alchoholic beer is the greatest abomination. Why contaminate a perfectly fine drink with something so destructive and evil as alchohol (shudders)

Coors Light is just bad. It doesn't matter how much or how little alcohol it has. Might as well drink club soda for all the beer taste it has.
I've heard that Coors was originally marketed as a "light" beer. Then they released Coors Light? So is that light light beer?

Of course, I don't have any proof of any of this. That's why I'm posting on the internet.

BTW, I voted other, for grocery store variety liqour. You know, Southern Comfort, but only 40 proof? Why not just drink water with a little caramel in it?

Please elaborate - where can I go to get the alcohol injections? Is it legal in the US too?

My vote if for:

Low Carb ______ (fill in the blank)

a) salads
b) sandwiches
c) fruit

Just WAIT for the rash of law suits surrounding the Atkins diet and similar. The first suits have already begun. I predict that anti-Atkins law suits will dominate all other specific types of litigation, in about 10 years, maybe less. Mesothelioma, eat your heart (or lungs) out.

On Atkins personal medical chart, a doctor wrote "Artheriosclerosis". His wife claims it was a mistake (lie, I think she said), and he died from complications due to falling off his bicycle.

I actually saw an ad for Lo Carb milk, I was like damn is this stupid. Then you have the low carb options at Burger king which is actually a hamburger without the role, what a stupid pointless existence life must be on a low carb diet, fake milk and hamburgers without rolls.
