Ever wondered why you can drink several pints or glasses of wine but never of water? If the answer is yes the chances are you have been stuck in a pub sipping your third water of the evening wondering how the rest of the table is so damn thirsty. Of course it is because alcohol makes your dehydrated and unless you are scoffing nuts or lapping the pub in-between drinks it is hard to replicant that insatiable thirst.

Over the years there have been a fabulous increase in low alcohol or alcohol free drinks available both in pubs and in your local supermarket coinciding with an increase in demand for booze free drinks. In Europe pubs are full of different types of beers that are alcohol free and it is only a matter of time before alcohol free drinks are available on tap. Even though it won't make you dehydrated and give you beer googles at least you can join in with your mates a little. 

Some alcohol free drinks are plain revolting and some you can barely tell the difference. I have tried a fair few and was shocked at the varying degrees in quality and taste. After writing a list of good ones for friends over and over again I thought I'd just put the list on line. Happy for any recommendations of ones I should give a go!
