I stopped drinking years ago, and have recently tried several of the different non alcoholic beers available. However I always notice something suspiciously like a minor hangover an hour or two after drinking one, which seems odd. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

Most non-alcoholic beers still have 0.5 grade. If you're fully detoxed and sensitive (or pregnant) that's enough to make you unwell.

Non alcoholic beers still have a small percent of alcohol, but just below the lowest amount accepted to be non alcoholic. It must depend on the country, but generally anything below 1% is considered OK (so 0.8% is marketable as 0%)

  In the USA they must be below .5% abv. Almost all are much lower as that removed alcohol can be used in other products such as hard seltzers or rtd's. (A macro light beer is around 4.1%) Also alcohol labeling has a small wiggle room but .8 bring zero is incorrect. If it's labeled at 5%. The manufacturer can legally sell it at a .3% wiggle so 4.7% to 5.3%.

Heineken zero it doesn't happen on, nor Corona Zero (although that stuff tastes like shit anyway). Some of the craft IPA Zero beers either get me a bit drunk feeling or just give me a hangover after 2.

Haha yeah funny you mention that. If I drink two I feel it just slightly the next day. I’m a super lightweight - don’t drink at all - and yeah definitely something there. They have 0.5% alcohol- most seem to anyway including Athletic which I’m a huge fan of. I think even that little has a small effect.

My favorite "non-alcoholic" beer still has 0.5% ABV (Staropramen).

  Staropramen is made from dead rats and radioactive waste.

I notice they taste pretty sweet, especially the 0.0 ones. If you feel a crash or headache after drinking soda, then maybe it's similar for those NA beers.

Non alcoholic beers still have volatile compounds like esters and aldehydes that cause that effect
