I'm doing my best to stop drinking, but my local only has Heineken 0 available. What else do you lot drink that I can reliably get in the pub, which isn't full of caffeine or sugar?

Water is about all I can think of but I'm wondering if there is something I can ask for that I'm overlooking. I'm hoping this will be like when I learned about pesto; I couldn't believe I had gone so long before eating it.

If it's a place that serves tea and coffee, there's a pretty good chance they'll do decaf or green tea.

I don't recommend drinking three pints of it, though.

If you're a regular, you might be able to persuade them to try a few other 0% beer options, like Guinness 0% or "Nowt Peculiar" etc

Otherwise, yeah, it's water or fizzy water, optionally with some juice or cordial in it.

Guinness 0% is truly top tier, its about the only one of them (out of the sparse few I've had) that tastes as good as the 'full fat' version
