Know there are a few of you on here that don't drink.

I recently tried Impossibrew's 'Enhanced Pale' 0.5% ABV and really enjoyed it.

Contains their 'Social Blend'.. nootropics including L-Theanine, 5-HTP and Vitamin B-1 to promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety. They describe it as 'the opposite feeling to caffeine'.

I don't know if was a placebo effect but I certainly enjoyed a few of them and felt chilled. Just ordered some more, along with their Vanilla Stout to try.

Give them a go, if you like.

I didn't know I had a GABA in my brain, I believed it was a cricket ground in Australia...

Sounds an interesting idea though. I imagine the Antivaxxers will be cowering behind their sofas at the very idea...

I've recently become a big fan of non and low alcohol beer, during a dry January. I was reading something interesting regarding it, that said because it(almost) tastes, smells and looks like normal beer your brain is fooled into getting the dopamine hit you'd get with alcoholic beer.
Well I thought it was interesting...😅

This has piqued my interest, I have a bottle arriving tomorrow so will report back! I see they are taking 2 weeks to ship now after the press coverage.
 
I don’t drink because I don’t like the taste though, so the lack of alcohol doesn’t make a difference.

Sound intriguing but I’m cynical about the marketing tosh. Will give it a try though.
 
Had a couple of No Alcohol Brew Dog cans last night. Nanny State and Elvis Juice.

Absolute codswallop. Flat and tasteless. I didn’t mind the alcoholic versions of those when I used to drink.

Pick up a few of the 0% Brooklyn ‘Special Effects’ bottles. They’re not too bad.

If I’m out in a social setting with the lads, the pubs don’t generally tend to have the speciality, niche brands so I tend to go for the Peroni 0% if I fancy a no alcohol beer, makes a change from lime & soda.

That's because it's Brewdog
 
I'd be interested to hear reports back from those thattry the GABA drink. Sounds a bit "too good to be true" to me.
 
I tried a crate of the Impossibrew pale ale a while back and I'd rather have a fruit juice if I'm not drinking alcohol to be perfectly honest.

It wasn't terrible but it's trying to fill a niche that isn't really there.

Breweries creating a non-alcoholic version of an existing beer makes some small amount of sense (and I've tried a few).

If I'm in a pub not drinking then I'd much prefer there to be a range of decent flavoured mock-tails that aren't just full of sugar. That's the niche that needs filling. But I'm guessing it'll be difficult due to fridge space etc.
 
I'd be careful with that stuff. 5 htp is a serotonin inducer. It's usually used when someone takes mdma and they need yo replenishing their serotonin. The addition of the inducer will send your serotonin levels sky high. They will also be produced naturally in the brain, especially when you are having a drink with mates and a placebo effect. High serotonin levels can cause serotonin syndrome and its very dangerous and will get mistaken for another illness due to the symptoms. The treatment maybe something that gives you more serotonin making you worse.
I don't drink alcohol either but that drink sounds like a liquid speed ball of anti depressants. You'd be better off sticking to a Mon alcoholic (erdringer is amazing). Or if the buzz of that drink is what you want you'd be better off smoking weed at least the thc would be only doing one thing.
