O' Doul's

I'm going to ask my doctor on Monday about this but wanted to know if any one drinks O'Doul's non-alcoholic beer.  I noticed it says less than 0.5% alcohol in it.  I've got a strong craving for beer and wanted to know if I should avoid this also?

    I know lot of people that drank those not all the time but when they craved it.  My friend craved beer while pregnant so she bought beer flavored chapstick I know that does sound gross!!!!!  I think if you have one every once and awhile everything will be ok!

    That is very little alcohol. I'd feel comfortable with having one here and there.

    Last night I had a craving for a really strong, hoppy beer. Just have to try to ignore those... I imagine O'Douls tastes more like Bud.?

    I believe Jasonswife does. She is on the west coast though and she hangs out in 2nd tri and BOTB. She said she drinks the non-alcoholic beer. She may be on tonight. Thats her normal time.

    Yes, I had one the other night, but I have read that you should just get over even the idea of alcohol, so even o'doul's is not good. ?I just got a fab book from my mom, the newly non-drinking girl's guide to pregnancy,it has some great mocktails that can still be fun and celebratory, but without any alcohol.

    I've been craving beer too! I've been craving hefeweizen and garlic chicken pizza. I haven't acted on the cravings though.

    From what I hear, they don't know how much alcohal effects causes problems in a pregnancy because the only real research that's been done so far is for pregnant heavy-drinkers. Although, I've also heard that there are a lot of Europeans who drink in moderation through out their pregnancies and have no problems. I've known a lot of people who drank occasional beers while pregnant and never had a problem.

    However, I still don't think I'm going to drink a real beer any time soon.
