A lively little debate kicked off on twitter this afternoon in relation to is beer with "no more than 0.05%ABV" ok to drink during #octsober.

There were lots of strong feelings going back and forth and questions relating to alcohol used in cooking and various other things we consume. At my last count the voting was 5-5…with one voter even switching from a no to a yes after viewing this link about the beer in question

You see, at EQ, we have a friday tradition by the name of #fridaybeer. We reckoned we could keep this going by purchasing alcohol free beer.

The problem here is that drinks in the UK can be branded as "Alcohol Free" if they contain "no more than 0.05%ABV" so the law reckons it's fair game. We're not sure so we're avoiding it for the time being.

Any further thoughts on this?
