Dunno if I qualify as a problem drinker, but was a daily drinker for decades. I’ve cut back a lot lately, but there’s some things that just go better, as a whole experience, with beer. Spicy noodles. Pizza. Whether through actual aesthetics or years of training, it’s hard to imagine a nice slice of pizza without a beer. NA beer is a legit substitute, for me, and I can have one NA beer without immediately wanting a second.
