Heineken 0.0 Alcohol Free Beer Cans, 24 x 330 ml

Product Information

We have become aware that the HEINEKEN Company, the Heineken® brand name and logo, as well as personal names of HEINEKEN officers, are being fraudulently used for activities in which HEINEKEN is not involved whatsoever,” it said. If you’ve ever been on a diet, you’ll know that alcohol rarely features in the menu plans. This is not to say that you can’t have the occasional drink whilst losing weight, just that drinking makes weight loss more difficult. The brewing giant issued a statement earlier this year warning people that they could be targeted, adding that in some cases, personal names of Heineken officers and the company’s logo are “copied and used for these purposes to give the impression that it is genuine.” Heineken 0.0 first hit the UK in 2017 in bottles and cans as one of the first markets for Heineken’s big push into the non-alcoholic market. Contrary to press reports that we should all drink some alcohol for health reasons - who hasn’t read an article claiming red wine is good for your heart? – the evidence simply doesn’t support this.

The introduction of Heineken 0.0 Draught will give people even more choice and be crucial to normalising and accelerating the uptake of No and Low alcohol beer in the UK – something increasing numbers of people are exploring as drinking habits and attitudes toward drinking change. ​If you have diabetes, and are on insulin or medication that can cause hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose or ‘hypos’), you should be aware that alcohol makes hypos more likely as it stops the release of glucose from your liver, something your liver would normally be doing 24 hours a day. Alcohol can also cause delayed hypos. How clued up are you about alcohol and diabetes? In 2019, this was followed with the launch of Heineken 0.0 Draught on the counter-top Blade system. Just like using smaller plates can help you to eat less food, using smaller wine and beer glasses can help you drink less - try it, it really does work! Heineken 0.0 Draught brings no/low beer from the periphery into the mainstream. We’re confident it will, over time, change pubs to accommodate more occasions. And by that, I mean it won’t be unusual for people to pop down to their local for an alcohol free pint or two.

Heineken 0.0 will roll out on draught in the UK next year following a successful 12-week summer pilot in pubs across the Midlands and the North of England. It will be the first alcohol-free draught beer to sit alongside regular beer taps in any pub. In 2020 it grew 'stong double digits' globally​​; against flat volumes for brand Heineken (0.4%) and an 8.1% decline for the overall beer portfolio in the pandemic year. Alternate with soft drinks. Shop around if you’re getting fed up with the usual diet soft drinks. There are so many different flavours available including diet pink lemonade, diet cherry cola, diet traditional lemonade and diet pink cranberry lemonade. If you are going to friends for a BBQ this summer bring your own as people often have only the ‘full fat’ variety of colas and lemonade!

According to NHS England, the average wine drinker consumes 2,000 calories from alcohol every month, and the average beer drinker - drinking 5 pints of lager a week - takes 44,200 calories a year, the equivalent of 221 doughnuts. ABV means alcohol by volume. The strength of alcoholic drinks has increased over the years, with new wines from South America, South Australia and South Africa containing 14% ABV or higher – this means that a bottle will contain approximately 10.5 units and 750 calories, and a large 250ml glass can be over 3 units and 200 calories. We’ve covered ways to prevent a hypo when drinking, and we also have a separate article on alcohol and diabetes. Your diabetes and drinking
