Several fake beers created in Japan are now being marketed and sold worldwide. You can get the drinks in bottles, cans, and even six-packs. They are also expanding the product lines to include children’s versions of wine, champagne, and cocktails. Fake beer even foams at the top when poured into a glass!
One of the slogans for a fake beer product reads: “Children can’t stand life unless they drink”.
Another advertisement for Kids’ Beer shows a boy crying because he failed a math test and then weeping for joy after drinking the beer. The message to me teaches a child to drown their sorrows in beer to feel better.
Another reads: “…perfect for those evenings when you want to be a bit like an adult.”

- Alcohol contributes to liver cirrhosis, cancers, and injuries.
How long before it’s in your local store? I was able to find this one on Amazon, “Kidsbeer”.
Pretty good with electronics (tv, radio, smart phone) but pretty dumb with other ideas.
*** and here I thought candy cigarettes were as bad as it would get…

I agree, they have some creative ideas but no filters for the really detrimental ones.

I always thought and still do think that the “problem” with alcohol is the person and not the alcohol itself.
I really don’t have a problem with kids having sips of beer or wine. These drinks are thousands of years old. Alcohol is quite beneficial in moderation and kids like people, only have a problem when addiction kicks in. These products are not addictive on their own.

💎 Kids want to Join In EveryOne; an OutDated Approach of ‘Kids Should Be Seen NOT!!! Heard’ doesn’t Help AnyOne…but a Non-Alcholic Beverage that Looks like Alcohol and Invites Kids to Join In The Responsible, Adult, Alcoholic Revelling then Grow Up to Drink Responsibly; only Alcoholic HYPOCRITES!! Would Oppose That

You Stated — “only Alcoholic HYPOCRITES!! Would Oppose That”
My Response — They used to have cigarettes’ for children but then we got rid of that because it led to children becoming more easily addicted to the real thing.
Maybe it’s best we not introduce children to things adults don’t seem able to control well.

💎 “Addiction” is interesting EveryOne; for example “Addiction” to:
● Religion
○ Alcohol
● Culture
○ Sex
● Others
○ Self
…where does That Leave Us EveryOne; ideally We Live and Let Live because UPBRINGING CRIME IS WRONG!!! and There ARE Plenty of Criminal, Conditioned UpBringings that Result in Adult DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!! Whether or NOT!!! We ARE Psychologically, Soulfully and/or Physically “Addicted” to ABUSING OTHERS!!! 🤔 ?…
