The taste and not just drink an airplane bottle. But the put a micro dose in the cap. Is there anything out there like that he is currenly doing could on this new pickle tasting stuff. Had the same small bottle over 3 months. Anything kind of similar?
I didn’t know there was pickle tasting booze but how about you modify his idea and give him some straight up pickle juice? And just tell him it’s alcohol. I’m pretty sure if your bro ingests alcohol again he’ll just form an attachment no matter how bad it tastes. Because the body craves ethanol.
So it’s important to put as much time/distance between him and drinking as you can, so the body forgets it’s dependency on alcohol.
Also helps to have a nice drink that replaces the alcohol. I think pelple use soda, kombucha, tea or coffee. This way you replace the habit and break the association of “i need a drink -> alcohol time.”
In summary, what your brother thinks he needs isn’t necessarily what he does need. It’s the alcohol craving talking. Always double-check with someone who’s recovered from it themselves or is a medical professional before you try out ideas like that.
I’ve found kombucha helpful to cut down my cider drinking. It doesn’t do much for wanting beer or liquor, but it’s a surprisingly good cider replacement.
Yeah, i expected the fact it’s fermented would help. Non alcohplic ginger beer is probably a great beer replacement but i’m pretty sure the best kinds are alcoholic so it might be no help - you could just relapse to alcoholic version or you could pick up an alcoholic one accidentally.
Definitely not what op is looking for but an NZ brewery did a pickle sour beer for a while (they might still be doing it, not sure.) link
It wasn’t bad! It was novel, and it was sold as a paired beer for just about every burger in an annual burger competition in Wellington one year. Unfortunately that meant everyone that participated in the competition got real sick of it though lol
