Non alcoholic beer does have a small percentage of alcohol. Most American brands of beer have a percentage of between 1-2% alcohol by volume as compared to say Canadian beer which is closer to 3-5% by volume. Non alcoholic beer has a percentage that ranges from .025-.050%. You would probably have to drink about 4-5 to get the alcohol in 1 normal beer. If you are not supposed to have alcohol due to age, medical condition, medication, or alcoholism you should still not drink this product.

It's sacrilegious to even think of non-alcoholic beer, but YES it does have some alcohol (thats why you can't buy it if you're under 21). Non-alcoholic beers have to be below .5% in the US and most of Europe which means that it would take about 8 of these to reach an average beer of 4%. You can do the math on how many you would need to drink to actually feel something.

Actually it does have an extremely low percentage of alcohol so low in fact that you would have to drink approximately 1 and 1/2 every minute for an hour to start to feel the affects.

Alcohol-free beer can have as much as half a percent of alcohol in it.

I have three different brands of non-alcoholic beer in my refer right now. Every brand clearly states "Contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume."
The correct answer is "yes," at least for every brand I have ever seen.

In most countries the term "non-alcoholic" means up to .005%.
There is a little alcohol in many fruit juices, hence the establishment of the term. "Alcohol Free" is the term for absolutely none.

yea its .5% or less. so technically if you drink a 6 pack of them it can be equivilent to drinking one beer. so speaking in terms of most girls they weill still get buzzed of a few and if you dont tell them its non alchoholic theyl act and appear to be drunk.

Yes it does. 0.005% in most of it. It may vary slightly as to the brand.

Yes, it is .05% which is why you have to be 21 to buy Odouls.
