Beer For Kids

Nothing like trying to make kids alcoholics even earlier...
They need to make Kids cigarettes without nicotine in them too!!! 
So now all the kids need is a bar to go to and a vending machine that despenses those old school bubble gum cigarettes that blew smoke. Hell, while we're at it lets get some kids crack, possibly kids meth???
There's something to be said for demystifying alcohol. I'll bet we'd be alot better off if booze wasn't some crazy "forbidden" fruit.
Thanks to organized religion for that mess.

You're right, let's demystify alcohol for a 6 year old :nuts:
It starts somewhere. Why not early? I'll bet kids in Europe start getting sips of beer and wine earlier than that.zod said:
Responsible consumption is something that needs to be started early in life.
This has *nothing* to do with getting liquored. For most of the world, alcohol has a more important place in culture.
I think we should let someone in Japan who has some insight into their culture comment on this. My guess is that more than a little has been lost in translation.Ciaran said:

I agree. I have a German ex girlfriend who had big family gatherings and they would drink all day and night and have fun and talk and sing, but they weren't pounding beers and each other like some of my family gatherings...SkaredShtles said:

Still, all cultural BS aside, it seems pretty stupid to market beer-like products to kids.
Kinda reminds me of Candy Cigarettes back in the day. They are definitely a different culture than we are. I doubt that political correctness has made its way to their shores. I'm waiting for political correctness to leave our shores. 
Nothing like putting hair on their chests at a young age
You need to put hair on their crotch before worrying about chest hair.
It will probably get kids not to drink...nonalcoholic beer tastes terrible! :eviltongu

Did anybody actually read the article??
It was an existing sweet beverage "The drink started out as Guarana, a cola beverage". It was simply renamed. Getting all excited because kids are drinking 'kids beer' is like getting excited over kids drinking 'rootbeer', or 'Sparkling Cider'.
I'll agree the marketing campaign is a little disturbing...."Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink"

This is what I was referring to. I can't answer for the rest of these monkeys.PsychO!1 said:
Like I said, I'll bet $10 there was something lost in the translation of the "marketing" slogan.PsychO!1 said:
Albeit it seems pretty silly, Guarana the drink from Brazil is extremely good. Better than any American cola I've ever had and has probably 4+x the amount of caffeine than just about any drink that is normally sold in the US.
