JayClay 1207 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 As others have said, Heineken 0 is available at most supermarkets and some 7/11s. Unfortunately they seem to, as of very recently, only be available in cans and not bottles anymore. Food Mart in Jomtien had, along with an intermittent supple of Heineken zero, another more expensive alcohol free beer. I think it may have been Paulaner, but I'm not 100% sure. Unfortunately very few bars, even big chains, seem to serve any alcohol free beers. I guess there's just not enough demand for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jacko45k 30664 Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 It is better to avoid alcohol when unwell, but antibiotics themselves do not usually preclude alcohol.

hellohello123 968 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Can you not just for a few days not think about alcohol and drink a coffee/tea/soft drink/juice/water instead? Would it kill you? Edited January 27 by hellohello123 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert got kinky 2040 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) If you want alcohol free beer Heineken 0.0 is the best available in Thailand (bottles taste better than cans). Don't fall for San Miguel's Zero beer, it tastes putrid, it definitely isn't beer but it does have alcohol 3% alcohol.

PoodThaiMaiDai 297 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I am in the USA when I am not in Thailand. In 2016, I was traveled to Netherlands to visit my cousins. My cousin's husband works for Heineken. We did a tour of the Heineken in Amsterdam and part of the tour you get a free beer afterwards near the gift shop. He told me I should try the new Heineken 0.0 as it really good. I asked him what was so special about it and he told me the serve it a 0 degrees, right at freezing so it is a really cold beer. I never even thought he was playing a joke on me and ordered it and really liked it. I ended up spending two weeks in the Netherlands drinking this "really cold" beer. LOL I never learned I was being punked until I returned to the USA and did research on the beer trying to find it. It was a funny prank, but I am <deleted> I was finally able to travel to the Netherlands and was not even drinking real beer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc 20918 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The no alcohol and antibiotics thing started with the army. Soldiers were among the first to get antibiotics to cure the clap. The no alcohol was just an add on punishment for them. Can't have sex and can't have a beer. Having a beer with a meal in the evening will have very little effect on the antibiotic.

arithai12 3470 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 There's a Korean drink called Hi-Lite, sold in a can, 0% alcohol. The initial taste is amazingly like beer, better I'd say than the average Chang or similar. Only the aftertaste is a bit odd, fruit- or herb-like. Until a year ago I could find also a real good one, Asahi Point Zero, the japanese know their stuff. Sadly, no more at least where I shop. When do you have to take your pills? If it's a couple of hours after the drink, I would not be worried to have a real beer, maybe not too strong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 6233 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) It's a myth about antibiotics and alcohol with the exception of Flagyl which causes a severe reaction. With most other ABs booze has a minor impact. The story was started by doctors in the 40s to stop service men with STIs drinking when being treated with Penicillin But if you want an excellent NAB the Heineken 0 is excellent these days and tastes just the same as regular Heineken- dreadful...lol Edited January 27 by The Hammer2021 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle 5489 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Alcohol-free beer is sold in the vegan butchery! On a more serious note; why not give your body a break and go booze-free during your (hopefully limited) medical antibiotics treatment? As said, there is Heineken 0 and in the past you could get "Clausthaler" or "Veltins", both being German beers tasting like real beer without alcohol. Quaffable yet "uncheap" as this alcohol-free beer is taxed like any other imported beer. Reason is, that alcohol-free beer contains a minuscule fraction of alcohol in the 0.00000? percentage - so Somchai is taxing full steam! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
