Alcohol Free Beer

[Peregrine]

Now the beers that are "0.05 percent" or whatever- that's different. Even if there is one molecule of alcohol in the ingredients: you're in violation of the CARS right there. It doesn't specify how much.

To stir the pot, I hope some of the younger health conscious hip crowd don't happen to drink Kombucha. It can contain up to .5% ABV without being classified as alcohol (and typically is close to that limit) and is sold in convince store next to your coke and ice teas without any mention of it's alcohol content.
As these fermented beverages continue to increase in popularity I wonder how long until someone in our world gets themselves into an awkward situation.

Also the "one molecule of alcohol" statement is absolute and total nonsense. Regular bread contains ethanol from the fermentation, certainly not enough to get you drunk but commonly on the order of magnitude of .1-1% ABW. Yes really.
Same goes for a lot of fruit juices and fruits themselves.

You've heard of hyperbole, I'm sure. I use it sometimes. It's a rhetorical tactic that makes conversations more interesting.

Only makes it interesting if you keep playing along.
