Alcohol-free beer on draught helps people make healthy choices

Making alcohol-free beer more widely available on draught nudges people toward healthier choices, research suggests.

A new study led by the University of Bristol in the UK found that making the drinks more visible and easier to purchase in bars led to increases in sales of non-alcoholic beer.

Alcohol can lead to weight gain, addiction and has been linked to seven types of cancer, including mouth, upper throat, larynx, oesophagus, breast and bowel cancer.

Offering alcohol-free options is often seen as a good alternative for people who want to be healthier.
