Slight thread creep:
As someone that gave up the demon drink several years ago, I can vouch for the fact that there are quite a few tolerable low and non alcoholic beers available now.
In the US, I find an O’Douls normally goes down well with the mandatory chicken wings. Becks Blue and the Heineken 0,0 are available in many places too. I’d recommend giving one a try on a night stop, it just may save your job one day.
