Note, most Non-Alcoholic beer actually has a small amount of alcohol (usually around 0.5%) which can add up depending how much you drink.

Drinking an entire 6-pack of 0.5% beer is equivalent of drinking 6oz of a "normal" 6% beer. And I suspect people who drink non-alcoholic beer generally don't binge drink them. But I guess it may be important if you really can't drink any alcohol at all. But there are also beers labeled as truly 0.0%, not just "less than 0.5%"

I don't think I can physically drink enough NA beer for it to be an issue :D

I think the legal definition of NA beer is maximum of 0.5%.

I may be misremembering, but I think Athletic Brewing mentioned their beers are closer to 0.2 -> 0.3% on average.

But even at 0.5%, that would be 10 NA beers to add up to one average alcoholic beer at 5% assuming equal volumes.

Most fresh squeezed orange juice has a higher alcohol content than 0.5%

The only good-ish citation for alcohol content in OJ I could find is https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5421578/ which found 0.16–0.73 g/L ethanol content in OJ (but with low sample size, so...). To 1 sig-fig, ethanol has a density of 0.8 g/cm³, so that comes out to an ABV of 0.02%–0.09%; much lower than 0.5%.

Got a source on that? What I'm seeing is 0.16% as a high for orange juice.

Looking for a source, but oranges on the tree can be up to 4% alcohol when picked.

All of my DDG searches are just telling me how to make swill from concentrated orange juice.

Aren't oranges typically picked well before much if any fermentation has had a chance to take place?
