2long Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I have just started another thread about cutting down on the booze, but this topic is separate. I have looked in several shops for Heineken 0% but to no avail. Has it been discontinued? I understand the confusion in selling it from 2-5pm, and that's not the end of the world, but I'd like some.

hotandsticky Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) It is not in the beer section and it can be sold at all times - there is no confusion, it is 0% alcohol. A poorly run 7-11 may put the cans in the shuttered beer fridge but most don't (Makro staff wet themselves when you push your trolley towards them at 4pm with a case of Heineken in it). Depends where you are because you may struggle to find it in rural locations. Edited May 10, 2020 by hotandsticky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougmatelot Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I was in Big C in Pon Phisi (along from Non Khai to non Isaan people) at lunch time today; plenty of Zero Heineken next to standard Heineken. Somebody already mentioned Big C ;maybe they're making a thing about O% alcohol? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it's garbage & wouldn't drink it if it were free. As a matter of interest Heineken is always in the Top 10 beers consumed world wide.

I regularly do 0% booze by drinking water. But sometimes I like to kid myself (in my mind) that I'm drinking beer while doing my liver a favour. The first time I tried it I struggled to get past the first few sips, then it became ok. I haven't had it for a few months, but when I used to, I could enjoy 3 cans, nice and cold. - more flavour than water - better in every way than Coke etc (especially if drinking 3 cans) - not real beer, but once in a while it's an option Thanks to all. I will look harder now. We have Tops and Big C near us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a few disagree with your comment ! Indeed but I am in the agreement side - suspect it is popular because tastes more like US flavored water than German beer. Never much of an alcohol drinker but recall when living in Germany during the 60's enjoyed the taste of some, like Binding, but never liked Heineken.

thedemon Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 It may contain no alcohol but it is a lot higher in carbohydrates than regular beer and not dissimilar to a soft drink like Coke. So might well negate any benefit to your liver, if that is the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I was perusing the can for the info regarding carbohydrates, fat, sugar content etc and all the standard nutritional stats were lacking. I had (mistakingly?) thought it would be less carbs than alcoholic beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Anything less than 5% is not worth drinking, My local 7/11 did remove it from the fridges a complete waste of time trying to explain it's none alcohol, dont even go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69xl Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Who drinks any Heineken beer? You can't find a more bland beer anywhere. One of the reasons you can't find 0% Heineken in most stores is the almost non-existing demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 You will get just as fat drinking it as you would real beer. And with zero alcohol its a poor trade off, like somebody said by fruit. A big fat mango is cheaper and tastes much better They won't store it in predominantly Thai areas as they are not silly enough pay 40 baht for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
