I think it depends on where you live, you'd have to check with your government or police department. Or you could just go try and buy some and see if they ID you.

It's nasty stuff, though.

you have to be 21 or over here. i think its like that in most places.

You have to be 21 where I am too. It's not like it goes bad so just have her stock-up when she goes out.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't the law against the sale of alcohol? So non-alcoholic beer, then...?

You can buy non-alcoholic beer at any age in the state of Oklahoma.

Non alcoholic beer is stupid though... whats the point?

i didnt know non-alcaholic beer was even a real thing.

i guess its better than non-alcaholic vodka

Gotta be 21 around here.

...this just ran through my mind: how do they make non-alcaholic beer? to be "beer" it has to ferment, but the fermentation creates alcahol. i seriously doubt they can just filter it out.

non alcoholic beer?

Logic would say that you should be able to buy and drink it as most laws are against the sale of alcohol . . . however most governments seem to ignore simple logic like that so you'd have to check the laws where you live.

Non-alcoholic beer is made the same way as normal beer until the final stages. Once the product is nearly finished they use a process called vacuum evaporation. What they do is basically bring the liquid to almost 200 degrees Fahrenheit which boils alcohol but not water. They then vacuum out the gaseous alcohol, leaving behind beer without alcohol.

Non-alcoholic bear is a misnomer, the process by which they create it is not perfect and as a result it does have an alcohol percentage of between 0.1% and 0.5% which is why some places require and ID in order to sell it to you.

Now, alcohol is created by fermentation and 0.5% is almost nothing, orange juice that is on the verge of going bad can have an alcohol percentage at least that high or even up to 1%. As a result of this it is a hard topic to have a good debate on because, non-alcoholic beer does technically have alcohol but, the amount is next to nothing and in order to get drunk you would have to drink close to 100 bottles of non-alcoholic beer within a couple of hours, a superhuman feat to be sure.

Because it tastes good?

The only non alcoholic beer Ive ever seen is cheap as fuck, maybe if it was heineken or something but why not just get normal beer? its already really weak.
