Not exactly. It depends on which beer you are referring to.

"What Is Nonalcoholic Beer?
Nonalcoholic beers are simply beers that have either had the alcohol removed or have been brewed to contain less alcohol than the legal limit. By law, beverages can claim to be nonalcoholic as long as they don’t exceed the limit of 0.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."

So, drinking about eight, 0.5 percent beers would be equal to one Miller Lite.
