Virtual Drinks

I'm a non beer drinker but my husband likes craft beers. On the second weekend of no drinking I stopped in at the bottle shop to see what non alcoholic options there were. No non alcoholic craft beers unfortunately (there's a gap in the market for some enterprising individual). I brought home a six pack of Heineken 0.0. My husband told me Heineken is not beer. 

Semantics I said.

I tried one and to me it tasted exactly like beer. Or lager. Whatever. I don't know the difference.

It worked a treat at a party we went to around Day 14. No one even clocked we weren't drinking. 

We're in a 6 day lockdown (or 'pause' as we're calling it) so my pre-booked team drinks scheduled for this afternoon are now virtual. 

I'd been wondering how I was going to deal with it. These people know me well.

They would have wondered why I'm not drinking. I'm not ready to share this yet. Because I don't know if this is temporary, whether I want it to be permanent or whether I can manage it.

The great thing about virtual drinks is that I can pop a Heineken 0.0 in a stubby holder and voila, no one has any idea I'm not drinking alcohol.

Genius.

Namaste
