5. SOUNDBITE (English) Molly Bowdring, Stanford University:
"They have less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. So that’s compared to a standard beer, that would be about 5%, or a standard wine, that would be about 12%. But they do contain a lot of the alcohol-related cues, so the same taste, smell, sipping experience, sometimes even the same brand as alcoholic products."

"Most people who are consuming them are also alcohol consumers. What is an open question is whether people are consuming them in place of alcohol, and so are they helping people to reduce their drinking, or are they using them in addition to alcohol?"

"That if I want a glass of wine with my dinner, I don’t feel guilty. I can enjoy that glass of wine. And if I want to have a spirit, because we’re celebrating someone’s birthday, or champagne, I will do that. But I’ll only have one, and then let it go. And then maybe go to a non-alcoholic."
