Atenție, șoferi! Berea fără alcool vă poate lăsa fără permis pentru consum de alcool. Care e motivul? • Newsweek România

Drivers consuming non-alcoholic beer should be cautious, as some products labeled as alcohol-free may still contain alcohol. A Wall Street Journal analysis reveals that many beers marketed as non-alcoholic can have up to 0.5% alcohol by volume. This has led to confusion among consumers and legal actions regarding misleading advertising. The production process can leave trace amounts of alcohol, and while some brands claim to have 0.0% alcohol, achieving this requires costly additional processing. In the U.S., the majority of non-alcoholic beers contain less than 0.5% alcohol, which can still lead to penalties for drivers in countries with strict alcohol regulations, such as Romania, where any detectable alcohol can result in fines or license suspension.
