I've been doing Oc-sober most years with more success than not. Been going well this year, no cheats. Buddy is coming over tomorrow to work on me car. I bought a 4 pack of 'less than 0.5% dark ales. The OH saw them and asked who they were for since I'm on the dry. Well they were intended for me. I bought a few crafty ones…

So, i you're doing Oc-sober, does having a less than 0.5% beer count as breaking it and cheating or is there wiggle room for a few next to zeros?

0.5% is a slippery slope! Don't do it, man. 😀

.5 beer does not count. If I was doing a month off the gargle I would absolutely consider this to be within the rules.
