General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Bread flavored soda. I don't get it either but zero beer is one of my best sellers.

What floored me was Zero Gin....they were offering tastings at the restaurant supply store and I was like: 'no, please, paint thinner at 10am isn't my thing'

I will add, however, we have a friend who drinks a lot of beer and he discovered that when he adds a few in between his regular beers he can be just fine (like, out of 12 bottles he has 3 or 4 zeros).

Whatever helps cut it down we're all for it.

I've tried a couple of non-alcoholic gins. The best was "not terrible". I can understand a non-alcoholic beer or cider, but gin does not work.

Aye, I agree with the spirits thing. Most of the point of the spirits is the taste/burn of the ethanol. 

I like the odd margarita and espresso martini (basic, yes I know) and if they didn't have the strong taste of the spirits it would be pointless. 

Micheladas can work with non alcoholic beers though.
