It's like people who drink 'session' beer. Session beer is usually consumed in 'growlers' - which are giant beer bottles, effectively.
Except, session beer intentionally has less alcohol (so you can drink more in a session and not be too drunk).
WTF kinda fucking warped mentality is that shit?!?
Only if you're court ordered not to drink!
The beer still contains alcohol. It's like 'near beer' that we used to be able to buy on base at the age of 18. It's 1.75% alcohol, so you gotta drink a whole lot of it to get drunk. It might have been 2.75%, but it was possible to drink enough to get drunk - you just had to work at it.
Anyhow, 'session beer' won't get you out of a probation/bail violation. You're still drinking.
Unless you have (the exceedingly rare) condition of 'may not be drunk'/'may not drink to excess'. I sometimes see the latter as a punishment. In which case, it'd be easier to say below the 0.08 BAC that determines inebriation for the purpose of operating a motor vehicle.
SO you could possibly get hammered. Its like drinking Bud Light
