I've had three tonight! Loony juice but it just tastes so good.

Buxton - In The Zawn - table beer

Bought these to try. Not a fan of the still cider - it tastes like a dry wine (and I hate wine!) with a horrible aftertaste.
Wimped out on the other, will take it in for a friend at work, luckily have a couple of Aldi Orchard ciders left, which are absolutely amazing imo.

Villa Maria Riesling... not convinced by this, though their sauvignon blanch and gewurtzemeiner I find quite quaffable.

About to eat cheeseburgers and fries and fancied a beer or two from the fridge.
Struggling with drinks on a night out. Have discovered high gluten sensitivity in the last 12 months and coming away from the likes of bread, pasta, and beer (*sad face*) have had fantastic benefits to my health. As such, I've been drinking cider with meals out/parties but I can normally limit that to about 3-4 a night. On a longer night out on the town I find that anything after 5 and I'm feeling disgusting/sick with the sheer volume of sugar I'm putting into my body. Weirdly, too, even though I'm not a big drinker, I cannot seem to feel merry/drunk on cider, it's more of a sugar buzz than anything.
The obvious answer to this would be to either try gluten free ales (not all that common in bars/clubs yet, anyway), wine (I only enjoy red, and it's not exactly something I want to drink with my mates, would prefer to leave that to meals out with the missus or at home with dinner), or spirits I guess? Although I've not really tried enough to get an idea of what I like. I'm not altogether keen on whiskey, either.
Any ideas of what I could try? I don't want to be on *insert drink here* + coke/diet coke all night either, as I try to avoid sugary drinks, caffeine and sweeteners where possible.
Crying shame as I love beer and ales

You could switch the coke for tonic or soda?
I've had wine when out with mates a few times, naturally get some stick at first but it doesn't change anything. See a lot of men with Gin and Tonic now with half a fruitbowl in the glass, no one gives it a second look.

Good times!
A little bit of my masculin insecurity mixed with some friendly digs from mates is the issue
but it seems that's moving in the right direction now, as more geezas move onto those sort of drinks, rather than the usual wifebeating Stella (actually used to enjoy a Stella, can't say much). Will try some vodka tonic I reckon, then.. Cheers!
