Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but I can share my experience doing the opposite: I wanted to cut out drinking sugary drinks (soda, sugary coffee, fruit juice, etc) and had always struggled until I switched to beer instead (and sugar-free coffee in the morning). When I would have reached for a soda, now I reach for a beer. Haven't really wanted a soda in ages, the big brands all taste sickeningly chemicall-y to me now. Drinking a beer carries (to me at least) much more weight than drinking a soda. It has alcohol so I can't drink more than ~2 in a night (or if affects my sleep), and to be honest my body just doesn't want to drink more than one or two a day anyways. A big part of it was only buying half decent beer that has a lot more flavor than a miller or bud so it encourages you to sip it more like a nice coffee or cocktail then just chugging it down. Similar story with coffee - it is caffeinated so I can't drink more than 1 or 2 a day (again, with the sleep...) but it just brings me so much joy to make a nice cappuccino with breakfast. Overall it tastes infinitely better than drowning a crap drip coffee with sugar, and with the milk based coffees there is just so much more flavor in the cup to experience with and explore (different coffees, roasts, grinds...). Long story short, if you are dead set on cutting out drinking from your life I suggest that you pick up something similarly rewarding to replace drinking with. The obvious choice would be some other sort of stimulant -- Sugar? caffeine? THC? Your cravings could just be that your body is looking for carbs and knows that beer is an easy way to get them. Best of luck PS - if you want to experiment with non-alcoholic beers, Athletic has a line that is a significant cut above the rest which you can get in most grocery stores now. I personally prefer the "run wild" but the "upside dawn" is also decent if you are more into ales.
