Non-Alcoholic Liquor
Lines:
I don't really see the point, but it's not so much about being high and mighty about drinking* but just a slight confusion why people can't be happy with the wide range of other non-alcoholic beverages. Pointing out the fact that it does have a taste is true, though. It's why people prefer a lot of the things they drink and if a person can't drink for whatever reason, but still want that missing flavor, well, why not? People who drink alcohol can continue about their normal business and those who can't can partake in the non-alcoholic versions.
*I really don't care if people drink or not, but people who are snobs about it (not just well educated, but also rude) drive me up a wall. I don't care about your fancy aged bourbons or your craft beers, I drink what I drink because it tastes good. If the people who drink the non-alcoholic stuff thinks it tastes good, then let them be happy.

Non-alcoholic beer and wine aren't at all strange. Those start off as regular beer and wine, then have had their alcohol content removed by distillation. This is just water and artificial flavors; it's closer to Gatorade than Jameson.
Carl-E:
Our main customers for NA beer are caretakers of the elderly. We have a Vet's home nearby, and several of the nurses come by and get a case weekly for some of their charges. One in particular is blind, and she's never told him that it's NA. He's mentioned to her how "Old Milwaukee just doesn't have the kick it used to!"
But most of these guys aren't allowed alcohol for health reasons, and spent the whole of a very long life drinking almost nothing but beer, so... eh, it works.
GarandMarine:
Compared to that old salt's day I doubt actual beer has the kick it used to tbh.
Kugai:
Probably true.
