I thought Prema's post was certainly informative as to why "moderation"
in drinking alcohol is no standard at all. However (and someone else can
do the research!), I have long understood that "non-alcoholic" wine and
beer AREN'T. They are simply sufficiently reduced in alcohol content as
to avoid being labeled as regular beer or wine. One should be able to
read labels (at least, in the U.S.) to see if it contains alcohol, I think.
Yours,
