What do you think about kids drinking non-alcoholic drinks? And I mean drinks that are the virgin kind of alcoholic ones.

What I think probable is that there is a broad-based campaign underway aimed at the abolition of laws against having sex with children. Parents being prohibited from knowing that their own child has been talked into 'changing' his or her sex, including surgery; indoctrination in abnormal sex activity at the lower elementary school level; and now this that you are reporting on about them being introduced to the idea that intoxicants are nothing out of the ordinary.

It may all be a coincidence, but in the span of only a few years we've seen the change on the part of sexual liberationists from them almost always qualifying their proposals with "Of course this wouldn't mean involving minor children!" to what we're talking about now.

The news report you are probably referring to dealt with a starlet who said, approvingly, that her husband would carry their baby daughter on his chest while he drank one of these beverages and "she was like pawing at it and sometimes she would like, suck on the rim of it. So I think it feels to her like something special...." She has also commented that her daughters prefer O'Doul's.

I wouldn't buy it for my kids, cause it's filthy and you don't want your kids to get used to the taste, but once I got a tiny can for free and son drank it. Who cares. There's no alcohol in it. As a kid my friend always drank Shandy. Then she was cool and there was no alcohol in it. She didn't become an alcoholic. I think it's more important that your parents don't give the wrong example. Oh lol. Remember Snerf? I once sent him a pic. He showed his parents too. We were in an open air museum and there's an old Dutch cafe. So the kids sat there. This place is for kids. And there was beer on the table and an ashtray. LOL They were shocked. Do Dutch people let their kids drink beer? Yeah sure who cares. It was fake beer of course LOL made of that stuff you make candles from.

When my kids were growing up, and the world was still relatively sane, we'd go out to eat and the kids would get something called a Shirley Temple. A non-alcoholic drink. Non-alcohol beer and wine are another matter. If they were to develop a taste for these, they'd have to do it when they were of age.
I was never anti-alcohol; I stopped drinking in '89 when I got an ulcer. I used to be a heavy drinker. Some people shouldn't drink. If it doesn't cause someone trouble, then whatever. I don't think drinking alcohol is a sin, just drinking too much. None of us are drinkers today. I don't miss it.

Oh that reminds me. There's always kids champagne with New Year. It's just some sparkling apple juice in a fancy bottle.

...which, however, is apple juice. For the occasion, we only pretend that it's champagne.

With those "non-alcohoiic" drinks, however, they look just like beer (for example) in both the bottling and the contents, and they taste like beer (but minus the alcohol that is tasteless). Introducing small kids to this stuff can easily cause kids to think that everybody drinks, including mommy and daddy, and it's normal, etc. etc.

Yes. Still I think it's not a big deal that my son wanted the free can years ago, but I don't drink and won't buy it for that reason. It's also not for kids, but for adults who like the taste, but don't want the alcohol anymore. They used to make fun of guys who drank Buckler.
I drink alcohol once a year with a day out with the office.

I have never heard of or tasted a non-alcoholic beer that tasted like a regular beer. They all taste terrible.

And, every non-alcoholic beer I ever seen always had a certain amount of alcohol. Not much, but it was still there. Read the label.
