A good alcohol free beer is actually decent. It misses a bit of mouth feel and robustness a proper beer has.
Alcohol Free Prosecco is actually amazing. Fizzy, yummy, great burps.
The decent alcohol free stuff is actually 0.5%. So, it's still a beer. It's just been brewed or post-processed to have 0.5% alcohol.
I've had AF Gin & Tonics that have been amazing, and others that just taste like raw tonic.
Remember that beers are more than just lagers. I love alcohol free light hoppy IPAs (seriously, basically water, a hint of barley, a hint of yeast, and a nice juicy hoppyness), alcohol free sours (some of these end up being just like juice), and so on. Sometimes the off styles of beers make for better AF ones!
I haven't found a decent AF pale ale, lager, or many of the other more popular styles. They seem to be brewed more like a beer with alcohol taken out, rather than specifically tailored/crafted to being an alcohol free beer.
I'm going to say "you" a lot in this next bit, but I'm not targeting actual you. Just more, throwing my opinion out there.
IMO, if you are only drinking beer because it gets you drunk, then perhaps you have a bad relationship with alcohol?
If you are drinking beers because it's a social thing, that's cool. As long as you can also drink sprite and do the social things. Otherwise, perhaps you don't have the best social circles?
If you don't like beer, that's also fine.
