If your new year's resolution was to take on dry January then this next one could be for you. From better sleep to saving money - there's a whole lot to gain from not consuming alcohol. If you're keen to socialise without the hangover, zero percent drink options might be for you.

00:00 So I have picked four non-alcohol or low-alcohol beers to choose from. I've gone for some pretty
00:09 well-known brands that you might recognise from their regular beers, you might enjoy
00:15 them, but these are the no or low-alcohol free options. Now first up we have Carlsberg,
00:21 pack of four here. It is 0% alcohol and it also says it's low-calorie but I think that
00:28 does go for most no or low-alcohol beers, spirits, wines because I believe it is the sugar that
00:39 has most of the calories in. So let's crack one open. Alcohol free, not flavour free,
00:44 that is what the bottle says. I'll be the judge of that. Do you know what? That's nice.
00:51 It tastes like beer. I'm not sure if it tastes like a Carlsberg, it's not one of my go-to
00:58 beers. I can imagine it freezing cold on a nice hot day, very nice. Next up we have
01:05 Moretti. This is actually something that I would drink, the alcohol version, so let's
01:11 try the non-alcohol version. So this does say alcohol free, but again it says no more than 0.05%
01:20 alcohol. Satisfying isn't it? It's fine, it's fine, it's not my favourite,
01:30 but it's perfectly passable. It's maybe got less carbonation. Now we are moving on
01:40 to San Miguel, alcohol free lager. Again this talks about calories on this. I think that people
01:48 do talk about one of the good things about not drinking is that you're not consuming those extra
01:54 calories that you would be from drinking. Oh it's got quite a fizz to it this one. I opened it up
02:02 there, bottoms up. It's not hitting the same way a regular San Miguel does. There's like a weird
02:11 flavour to it. Finally I've got Lucky Saint. Now this was actually recommended to me. Have a look.
02:18 A little casual arm over here for this one. Honestly these have all been zero alcohol beers.
02:25 Maybe it's an acquired taste, maybe it's one of those things that if you like it you really like
02:33 it and it's a flavour you enjoy but it's not a flavour I am familiar with. Okay I have tried
02:38 four non or low alcohol beers as part of Dry January and I've got to say that the Carlsberg
02:46 zero alcohol is my winner here. I think it tastes like beer, I think it is refreshing
02:53 and I am imagining myself when the weather eventually gets warmer to enjoy this chilled
03:00 on a nice sunny day.
