Not so long ago in Russia there was a new law on realization of alcoholic products. It forbids sale of any alcohol-containing drinks day at night. In this regard there were also disputes over an occasion of whether nonalcoholic beer is considered the products called alcoholic.
What toznachat the term "beer"?
To understand whether nonalcoholic beer is alcoholic products, it is necessary to give definition to such drink as beer. Proceeding from the article of the law on control of a turn and production of ethyl alcohol or any alcoholic products and also about control of the use of these products (in which, by the way, there is no speech about classification of beer on "nonalcoholic" and "alcoholic"), it is possible to read that beer is an alcoholic product which includes the ethyl alcohol which is formed during the brewery fermentation made by brewing malt.
Also hop, water, a beer yeast, aromatic and flavor additives is a part of beer.
Most likely, in this article beer is a finished alcoholic product which contains no more than 0.5 percent of ethyl alcohol. And nonalcoholic beer is a beer in which the content of alcohol is less than 0.5 percent. Also make it by removal from a finished alkogolesoderzhashchy product of ethyl alcohol. From everything is higher told it is possible to draw a conclusion: as nonalcoholic beer contains less than 0.5 percent of ethyl alcohol, by definition such drink isn't alcoholic products.
However, proceeding from the same definition, it is impossible to call such drink beer.
And still, producers call this drink beer, and, therefore, from the general definition of beer, nonalcoholic beer can be considered as an alcoholic product. In some shops, nonalcoholic beer can be bought even at night as sellers place emphasis that in such drink there is no alcohol. If in these shops decided not to carry nonalcoholic beer to alcohol-containing products, sometimes sell it even to children. It turns out that the child who didn't reach majority can come there and buy any amount of nonalcoholic beer. The similar situation is categorically dangerous, even 0.5% of alcohol in each jar, can bring to a serious consequence if to drink not one can of beer, and a little.
Effect of nonalcoholic beer on a human body
At the use in small amounts, about, 0.5 liters a day, beer acts as a source of minerals and vitamins. Such useful substances as proteins, saccharides, biopower elements are its part. But because of wrong opinion that beer is not absolutely alcoholic drink began to abuse it considerably in recent days. Owing to such irresponsible relation to this drink, some people have a beer dependence. In this case nonalcoholic beer can act as an alternative to consumption of alcoholic beverages. It contains all useful substances and a small amount of ethyl alcohol. Scientists from Japan proved that beer improves protective functions of an organism from radioactive radiation. Established that after 0.5 liters of the drunk beer of light grades, the number of the chromosomal damages which are formed as a result of x-ray radiation decreases by 34%. It is explained by a combination of biologically active agents which are contained in drink with alcohol.
