In the most literal sense absolutely not, because water is a necessary non-alcoholic drink.
But in the context of alcohol, and alcohol substitutes: Depends what your alcohol problem is.

If being in a bar is a trigger, you should avoid it
Etc
i have never found them compelling. i switch to straight flavored seltzer water. which has tripled in price for no reason.
I mean, everything has tripled in price and the reason is corporate greed.
Dunno if I qualify as a problem drinker, but was a daily drinker for decades. I’ve cut back a lot lately, but there’s some things that just go better, as a whole experience, with beer. Spicy noodles. Pizza. Whether through actual aesthetics or years of training, it’s hard to imagine a nice slice of pizza without a beer. NA beer is a legit substitute, for me, and I can have one NA beer without immediately wanting a second.
Isn’t every beverage without alcohol a non-alcoholic beverage, by definition?
