“Driver-only, zero-degree beer”

Have you seen ads like this before?

Many driver friends feel tempted

We believe many netizens, too, would naturally think

That the alcohol content of “zero-degree beer” is zero

Is that really the case?

The truth may be more surprising than you think!

Recently, Shanghai well-known host Tao Chun released a video

Sharing a thing that made him feel “terrified with regret”

Almost led to drunk driving!

Sparking widespread attention among netizens

Tao Chun said that not long ago, he met up with friends for a meal. Since he was driving, he couldn’t drink alcohol. But his friend said that he had just bought a case of zero-degree beer—“non-” alcohol—so it could help liven things up and wouldn’t affect driving.

However, after Tao Chun drank a few bottles, he noticed his face was turning red and felt a bit hot. He then looked closely at the beer bottle and found no obvious “contains alcohol” labeling.

Only after reading the ingredient list carefully did Tao Chun and his friend get a big shock: alcohol content ≥3.6%vol!

Tao Chun said that at the time he felt extremely panicked and regretful, and his friend was also very awkward. If everyone hadn’t realized that “zero-degree beer” actually contains alcohol, Tao Chun would have been driving after drinking that night without knowing it!

Afterward, Tao Chun checked and found that this bottle of Zhujiang 0 degrees is called “0 degrees” because it’s for a better beer taste—meaning it’s made in an environment of 0℃. Therefore, it has to do with the brewing process, and it’s not that the alcohol content is 0!

He believes that this kind of name can easily mislead consumers. If someone “has a hearty drink” and then drives, and once an accident happens, the consequences could be unimaginable. The driver could also face administrative penalties or even criminal penalties for drunk driving.

In addition, some people can’t drink beverages that contain alcohol. Drinking zero-degree beer that contains alcohol without knowing it can also cause harm to the body.

Tao Chun reminds everyone: when you drink “zero-degree” or “alcohol-free” beer in the future, never be misled! You must carefully verify the ingredient list. At the same time, he also calls on relevant departments to take seriously and rectify brands that “play on wording” to get around the rules. The bottle packaging should clearly and prominently display conspicuous text stating “contains alcohol.”

The zero-degree beer Tao Chun mentioned

Alcohol content ≥3.6%vol

And on the market there are also many

Beers with even lower alcohol content

For example, the Qingdao beer that everyone is familiar with

It has released an

“alcohol-free beer”

with alcohol content <0.05%vol

An official customer service representative for Qingdao Beer said

The alcohol content of this beer is indeed relatively low

But drivers still need to take care to avoid drunk driving

The traffic police also said

If a traffic accident occurs due to drunk driving

No matter how much alcohol is in the body

Insurance companies will refuse to pay

The traffic management department will also determine responsibility according to law

This incident has also sparked heated discussion among netizens

Everyone said enthusiastically

“Be sure to keep your eyes open and read clearly”

And urged market regulators to take it seriously

A crackdown is needed for the situation where merchants “use word games to mislead consumers”
