Good for you in stopping alcohol! Beer legally can be labeled and sold as non alcoholic as long as they contain no more than 0.5% alcohol. Most NA beers are near that limit, e.g. 0.4-0.5%. Probably 1-2 beers NA beers daily is OK, but no more. Check with the doctor providing your care. Other HealthTap docs with experience with alcoholic liver disease may have further advice. Good luck.
