Oh, dear God, no. That was all that I could think when I first stumbled upon this photo in my random quests for content for this site. I do understand the idea behind non-alcoholic wine, AKA grape juice, and its importance in our world. I can even understand the idea behind having non-alcoholic beer and the place that it fills, though I would never drink the stuff, not because it contains no alcohol, but more because it contains no flavor - though I do enjoy the buzz that comes with your standard over the counter beers on the market today. Hell, I've even ordered a virgin rum & coke, if for no other reason than to f@^% with a bartender's head for a moment as it approached the end of the evening and I was getting ready to call it a night. This one, well, it defies all logic. It defies reason. It should not exist. Interestingly enough, and thankfully, it does not. Though the many blog entries I sifted through were filled with posters who seemed to think this was real, and an interesting array of commenters defending and decrying the concept of this product, I did manage to discover the truth. It was simply some sick and twisted art project. I only hope that this art project did not receive any government grants. And that they don't put any of this junk in my drink the next time I order a virgin screwdriver at brunch.
