Precautions and Caveats
If you are subject to alcohol testing for work, a legal program, or any other reason, it’s crucial to be mindful of what you consume.
Non-alcoholic beers and wines, especially those with a 0.5% ABV, could cause a false positive, potentially leading to serious consequences if you’re expected to maintain complete sobriety.
People in abstinence programs or those who are regularly tested for alcohol consumption may want to avoid these drinks altogether.
You should talk with the administrator of the tests or program to confirm whether or not consuming non-alcoholic beer or wine is ok.
For those who do enjoy NA beverages, it’s a good idea to read labels carefully and limit consumption, particularly if you’re likely to be tested for alcohol. Opting for 0.0% ABV drinks or avoiding these beverages close to testing periods is the safest choice.
