There are many companies that produce non-alcoholic beer (0.0 alcohol content). Does drinking this type of beer have alcohol content in the body? (Hung, 35 years old, Ho Chi Minh City)
Reply:
Non-alcoholic beer is simply beer that has had the alcohol removed or has been brewed to contain less alcohol than the permitted limit.
According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), beverages can be declared alcohol-free as long as they do not exceed the limit of 0.5% alcohol by volume.
Non-alcoholic beer is produced from the same ingredients as traditional beer, the only difference is that at the end, non-alcoholic beer still needs to go through the alcohol removal process before being released into the finished product. Non-alcoholic beer contains some nutrients such as protein, especially soluble protein, carbohydrates and some vitamins such as B1, B2, PP, minerals...
For non-alcoholic beer, with an alcohol concentration of 0.0%, when drinking, you will not get drunk at all and the alcohol concentration will not be recorded in your breath, no matter how much or how little you drink.
Removing the alcohol from beer makes it healthier, but that doesn't mean it's okay to drink non-alcoholic beer in excess. Most non-alcoholic beers provide little nutritional value and are mostly carbohydrates.
It's important to remember that non-alcoholic beer can still contain some alcohol, and the 0.0% to 0.5% alcohol by volume figure you see on the label is not a surefire guarantee of the actual alcohol content.
