NA Beer or wine?

Hi ladies I am sure this has been asked before but I'm just curious how you feel about drnking NA beer or wine. My doc said it is fine and I would love to have some tonight as I am going to a huge Halloween party but when I googled it I got mixed feelings. From my understanding there is more alcohol in things like bread, oj, mouthwash and cough syrup.

    Blech. I'm not a beer person, and NA wine is barf-worthy.

    My dad was an alcoholic when I was little, sober now for 24 years, but he drinks Busch NA and it seems to be good to him. I had a couple sips and it's not that bad.

    I am really interested in hearing responses to this post because I am definitely wanting to have some NA beer and/or wine!

    I know that this is not a popular opinion, but here in Europe people drink regular beer and wine. The doctors recommend no more than 2 units a week.

    I am not a big drinker, and I am American, so I grew up thinking I can't drink while pregnant. So I haven't. 

    I am not even suggesting that you drink regular alcohol, I am just saying I am sure the small small amount in a NA beer or wine is completely fine.

    I love the taste of beer and I've had a few O'douls Amber NA while pregnant.  We have six pack of the regular O'Douls in the fridge now.  My mom doesn't drink and she drinks the Busch NA as well.   I cannot stand the NA wine...it is definitely not even close to tasting similar.

    Welch's grape juice tastes better then NA wine.  MUCH better.

     Honestly, I'd rather just have a half a glass of real wine and sip on it for a while.

    What about sparkling apple cider? That sounds a lot better to me than NA beer or wine.

    I've had pregnant friends drink NA beer in the past and they were fine.  As far as NA wine... I don't know.  But last weekend I had some sparkling grape juice and that wasn't bad at all!

    I've heard that there is a NA beer at whole foods that is really good but i cant remember what it's called. I had a NA St Paulie's girl last night and it was pretty good.

    My understanding is that it is safe, but not very tasty. I have heard the beers are improving a lot, as the market increases, but the wines still have a really bad rep.

    I've tried NA wine and it is awful. If anyone knows of a decent one let me know. I usually have a little bit of regular wine later in the pregnancy, and I don't think it's terrible for you. Coors Light NA is really good. Probably the best one I've ever tried.

    I think O'Douls aren't bad!

    And no, I def would NOT worry about drinking an NA-beer or 2.  You are fine.

    I personally don't mind the NA wine.  The stuff that I have tried is called Fre.  I don't know if they make any other kinds of NA wines or not.  I have tried a few NA beers, and so far have found that O'Douls Amber tastes the best to me.  I was a pretty big beer/wine drinker before marriage and baby, so I don't mind the taste of the NA stuff.

    Also, my doc said it's okay to drink NA beer and wine.

    I think it's completely fine, and my favorite last go around was St. Pauli's Girl NA.

    Can someone tell me what they would compare a NA O'douls to that does have alcohol? We considered buying me some but I don't want to waste the money if I might not like it, cuz I know no one else will drink a NA beer here! Though, we do have a NA Labbatts that I may check out tonight.

    Well thank you ladies for all of the imput:). I had two O'Douls last night and they were great if you ask me. I also ended up having a blast at the Halloween party I went to. Have a great day everyone. Pinkflipflops44- I usually drink bud light or bud select 55 and I thought the regular O'Douls was good. Not the same but close enough for me.
