Why do you hate America?
I have a list but it'll take a while to go through it all
I promise I've been good. Except for that one time. But that doesn't count. I want a Tonka Dumptr— Oh. I never mind. I thought you were somebody else.
Paying a guy $30 to buy you $60 of Clausthaler and Cranberry juice mixed with mint 
In Taiwan, where the legal drinking age is 18, high schoolers who said they drank nonalcoholic beverages were more likely than those who didn’t to express an intention to drink alcohol.
This article seems to me to be completely reversing correlation and causation. Isn't it far more likely that young people who are more interested in drinking alcohol are more likely to drink non alcoholic beer etc?
You're correct. It's so easy to lie with statistics that I now start with the impression that ~~it's~~ any new statistic is an outright lie.
Bowdring says there’s emerging evidence that nonalcoholic beverages may prime kids to switch to the real thing.
From the emerging evidence cited
However, concerns that non-alcoholic beverage use would lead to increased alcohol use were not supported because alcohol flavoured non-alcoholic beverage consumption usually started after adolescents began consuming alcohol.
Yeah, but if you ignore that part it gives you something new to criminalize.
huh, in my country this is already the law. given our culture of drinking, i really don't think it works lol. like, if a kid is bothering to try to get ahold of non-alchoholic beer they're already having that behaviour modeled to them and thats the part that actually matters
Surely hardline enforcement and locking people up will work this time around! Why bother addressing systemic issues when you can just arrest and brutalize teenagers?
I think it would do more to age restrict energy drinks with crazy high amounts of caffeine.
If kids want the taste of beer without the alcohol, I say let 'em
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
every time i've bought NA beers in the US i've been carded. figured this was already the law
You also need an ID for cooking wine.
I don't know shit about this, no investigation so don't put stock into my opinion, but my gut tells me the demand for non-alcoholic drinks comes from people who would otherwise be seeking out alcohol in the first place
Also kids who go somewhere with their parents and want something fancy (for the mocktails anyway).
"Experts"
It could also diminish the mystique and sense of transgression surrounding alcohol amongst teens.
I love "facts based journalism"!!!! I love it when a single shoddy research paper becomes hard evidence of a proven fact to support a state agenda!!!
PRIME eh?
