I had gotten some hop seltzer from Sierra Nevada at the grocery store, just hop flavored seltzer water, that’s all it was. And it was really good. The crisp refreshing taste of a light beer, but no alcohol. I easily drank a six pack that evening, and then felt ok the next morning.
But the next time I was at the store, and it was a different store, they didn’t have it, so I went with a six pack of ultra-low alcohol beer, 4.25%. It was a local craft brew, and tasted great. But the next morning my body felt the dehydration, the alcohol withdrawal. My mouth tasted of dirty socks, and my muscles itched under my skin. A Sprite surprisingly helped, but it wasn’t fun.
Maybe I’m too old for beer anymore, save one or two on a special occasions, and I guess that’s fine. I used to have a pretty good daily beer habit, and I’m glad I’ve kicked it.
