Alcohol free, or
non-alcoholic beverages, are non-alcoholic versions of typically
alcoholic beverages, such as
beer and
cocktails. These may take the form of a
non-alcoholic mixed drink (a "virgin drink"), non-alcoholic beer ("near beer") and "mocktails", and are widely available where alcoholic beverages are sold. Beverages with labels that state the actual
alcohol by volume help citizens from unknowingly becoming inebriated or
drunk drivers.
