I swapped my daily beer for Heaps Normal XPA, which I felt was about 80% as good as regular beer. Then after a few months of that I realised I no-longer craved a beer, so swapped to sparkling water.

Now I only drink maybe once a month. It's great. Happy I kicked the mild habit.

I still enjoy one or two beers at the end of the week, but happens fortnightly ish now - for exactly the same reason. I've also gone to drinking sparkling or soda water at home with a squeeze of lemon, completely replaced the soft drinks at the same time. The amount of sugar in the beer was surprising and the low/no alc options really did help move away from them in excess.
