Expert answers to common questions about non-alcoholic options, ingredients, and delivery across Canada.
What is the difference between '0.0% ABV' and 'Non-Alcoholic?
Products labeled 0.0% ABV contain absolutely no alcohol. Some products labeled 'non-alcoholic' may contain trace amounts of alcohol (less than 0.5% ABV), which is similar to the levels found in ripe fruit or fruit juice.
Do you carry completely 0.0% ABV alcohol-free drinks?
Yes, we have a dedicated '0.0% Alcohol' collection featuring over 200 zero-proof beers, wines, spirits, and seltzers that contain absolutely no trace alcohol.
Is 0.5% really alcohol-free?
In Canada, any product containing less than 1.1% alcohol-by-volume (ABV) is considered alcohol-free because our body metabolizes that amount of alcohol faster than we can feel any effect.
More commonly world-wide, any product containing 0.5% ABV or less is considered alcohol-free.
Fun fact: many foods have some level of ABV due to their natural fermentation. Kombucha, breads made with yeast, overripe bananas, fruit juice, yogurt, soy sauces & vinegars can range from 0.2% ABV up to 1.2% ABV.
Can you get drunk from a 0.5% drink?
No, no matter how many drinks you might have at 0.5% ABV or less.
It’s almost impossible (rare health conditions do exist) for your blood alcohol content to reach 0.04% drinking these beverages. The main reason why your blood alcohol content can’t build up to a level that makes you feel drunk is because your body processes the alcohol in a <1.1% ABV beverage almost as quickly as you drink it.
Are these drinks pregnancy safe?
For the most part, yes.
While it's always best to consult your doctor if you're unsure, generally speaking products with 0.5% alcohol or less are safe to consume.
That said, we do not recommend consuming any functional beverages (those containing adaptogens and other active ingredients) during pregnancy. Functional beverages will all be labeled with the active ingredients they contain.
