How fast would the culture surrounding beer, wine, and liquor and coffee and tea wither away if they no longer had alcohol or caffeine in them?
Well I mean with beer and wine it is literally the fermentation process that gives them flavor, they simply wouldn't exist without alcohol, so those cultures would be nonexistent.
I like tea and coffee regardless of whether or not it has caffeine. In fact, I only have coffee probably every couple of days because I don't like being caffeine dependent like a lot of people. So I would still drink those regardless of whether or not they gave you a buzz. And I prefer white tea the most because it has little caffeine.

I would still drink coffee if it didn't have caffeine, but I wouldn't be happy it was gone...

Can't speak for coffee, but for those three alcohol is embedded in their definition. So, that culture would disappear entirely. They can't exist without the alcohol component.

black tea has roughly the same caffeine as coca-cola

OP was obviously trying to be edgy and act like people like these things only because of the alcohol, but the truth is you can't have one without the other.

>not abusing stimulants = having bland taste
30 mg is plenty to wake me up. Sorry you've built up a tolerance because you have no self-control.
historically speaking the beer that most people drank had a very, very low alcohol content. they made it to have bread in juice form, not to get drunk.

It's not semantics. Without the yeast fermenting the ingredients in beer it would tasty like malty and slightly bitter water. There would be no 'beer' flavor at all, nor would there be any carbonation.
So even without alcohol, the flavor aspects would be missing and it would not be beer.
Same goes for wine and liquor

that and also, atleast for wine, the process purified the water used.
allowing you to have clean water.

that is semantics you dipshit

You're obviously just a literally autistic retard who can't into hypotheticals.

where exactly do you think we are
Beer, wine and liquor faggots would keep pretending that there are random flavors in their garbage.
Coffee would be only drunk by tryhard babies.
>tea without caffeine
wow what a loss
I would probably drink considerably more coffee, probably the same amount of tea.
I would sip delicious coffee all day if it wouldn't completely trash my ability to think and sleep.

Beer, wine, and liquor would still exist, but they would be niche interests like lacto-fermented vegetables are today. People would drink them from time to time maybe, but most people wouldn't be that interested in them, like pickles in sandwiches or olives or whatever. A few people would still be really into making them at home.

If it wasn't for alcohol, I would have gotten lot less pussy.

>They're arguing about yeast, but they're using words to argue so it's an argument of semantics
It isn't an argument of semantics, it's a semantic argument, because you have to use text to have an argument on the internet.
Ironic how the guy who is spouting "muh semantics" has contributed least to this thread.
