Is non-alcoholic beer reallly more expensive than the regular? In Europe they’re on par in most places. In Northern Europe (Norway, Denmark) it’s even significantly cheaper due to taxes.
My assumption was that it’s because it’s newer, so they need to make up that r&d cost. Once there is a lot more competition for it, the prices should come down.
I’m just hoping for fewer drunk driving accidents and reduced health issues
R&D cost lol, there’s no such thing. That’s what companies want you to believe so they can upsell medicine and technology.
This is just another market rife for capitalism to ensnare. Some guy crunched the numbers and found that x% don’t drink at events. So to recoup that lost revenue, they made this. The drinks, the ads, the news articles that cover it. All planted to drive up their bottom line.
Because that’s how businesses work. They find an angle and swoop in and start setting up payment systems to see what people will begrudgingly pay for.
I was trying to escape beer to save money, but at $2 a can non-alcoholic is even more expensive despite seemingly less taxes needing to be paid.

Where I am it is the same or more. Yesterday I picked up a Lagunitas IPA NA for $11.49/6pk

Oh boy you are painfully optimistic about capitalism
fair, again I’m just hopeful that this will become a good option for people
That’s the nicest way to put it lol
Let us not forget, 1 trillion types of non alcoholic drinks already exist.
People don’t event know when they a being marketed.
