I've tried a couple of non-alcoholic gins. The best was "not terrible". I can understand a non-alcoholic beer or cider, but gin does not work.
Comment on New study: No-alcohol and low-alcohol beers, and dry pubs, are on the rise

What floored me was Zero Gin…they were offering tastings at the restaurant supply store and I was like: ‘no, please, paint thinner at 10am isn’t my thing’

Aye, I agree with the spirits thing. Most of the point of the spirits is the taste/burn of the ethanol.
I like the odd margarita and espresso martini (basic, yes I know) and if they didn’t have the strong taste of the spirits it would be pointless.
Micheladas can work with non alcoholic beers though.

I will add, however, we have a friend who drinks a lot of beer and he discovered that when he adds a few in between his regular beers he can be just fine (like, out of 12 bottles he has 3 or 4 zeros).
Whatever helps cut it down we’re all for it.
