Sworn friends: how non-alcoholic wine and beer are harmful to health
Think carefully before buying these drinks.
Ahead are the holidays, which not everyone can afford to celebrate with alcohol. Someone on the most magical night of the year will be behind the wheel, someone – in anticipation of the most important miracle in a person’s life, and someone simply does not drink alcohol for health reasons and for other reasons.
However, we are so used to seeing off the old one and celebrating the New Year with a glass in our hands that we want to at least outwardly observe this tradition. Some people buy soft drinks like beer and wine.
Are they definitely without degrees?
No, not exactly. Both wine and beer are made in much the same way as the degrees options, but alcohol is excluded from the finished product. Some traces of it still remain – about 0,5%. Therefore, these drinks cannot be called absolutely non-alcoholic.
One glass – and you can’t get behind the wheel. And for pregnant women, both of these drinks are strictly contraindicated.
In addition, all estrogens remain in non-alcoholic beer – analogs of female hormones that knock down hormonal levels and provide men with an abdomen and a mustache for women.
The liver also suffers: often non-alcoholic beer and wine contain chemical additives that need to be filtered. In addition, there is still ethanol in these drinks, albeit in small doses.

It is imperative to watch the composition. It is important that these soft drinks do not contain artificial carcinogens. In addition, in any case, such beer and wine are extra calories. In my opinion, it is better not to drink at all than this. Obviously, to compensate for the absence of ethanol, many harmful substances are added there, the very “yeshki” that can, among other things, cause allergies.
Dependency type
“As a doctor, what I dislike most about non-alcoholic wine and beer is that advertising is allowed, while advertising for ordinary alcohol is prohibited, which is correct. But now everyone began to disguise themselves as non-alcoholic and the words “wine” and “beer” still sound. I am categorically opposed to such things appearing on the agenda in the mass market, ”explains Mikhail Belcevich.
According to the expert, there is only a small contingent of people for whom non-alcoholic wine and beer may be the lesser evil. They are quit alcoholics.
“After special treatment in the clinic, they can use them to drown out the nostalgia for the old days. Only people with iron willpower are able to get by at all, ”the specialist believes.
However, psychologists say that the effect may be the opposite: a person who has given up alcohol for a long time may break down after such drinks.
Under no circumstances should anyone drink non-alcoholic wine and beer.
There is a list of absolute contraindications, and it is quite wide. First of all, you should not drink even such “harmless” drinks if you are undergoing treatment. Only water is compatible with medicines. You cannot indulge in non-alcoholic if you have recently been vaccinated. In addition, there are diseases in which the strictest prohibition is imposed on the “zero”:
cystitis;
gout;
hemorrhoids;
prostatitis;
gastrointestinal tract diseases;
diabetes;
liver disease;
pancreatitis.
