Um, I’m going to say no. I think a lot of “alcohol free” drinks still contain a small percentage of alcohol in them. It also wouldn’t be very nice seeing some child swigging from a bottle of beer.

I think they don’t contain any alcohol so technically no but still… I don’t think you should encourage it and normalise it too much.

Although the flip side is that in Italy they allow a small glass with dinner and I think the relationship with alcohol out there is much better than d*unken hicks of the Uk

Tricky one this

1 let your child have a drink now and again so that its not something new and cool hoping that they dont turn out reckless alkys

2 dont let them have the odd drink risking them rebelling and going wild once they are then old enough to get served

Id go with no1 as i spent my teens looking for them no1 lasses

We used to have a small glass of wine as kids with our Sunday roasts. Just checked the drinkaware website and it says this about giving kids alcohol.

"In England, Scotland and Wales, it’s not illegal for someone between the ages of five and 17 to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises. But this does not mean it is recommended."

Yeah, I used to buy chocolate cigarettes with the edible paper around them in a fake Winstons type packet when I was about 5, started on Embassy’s when I was 11

I think the occasional _small_ tipple is good for kids - it removes the cool factor and just makes it one more thing that they don’t have to experiment to excess with. Hiding things from kids never works out well in the end.

Have you considered a career in talk radio? I think people would listen to many, many radio adverts to hear things like this.

No issue with it tbh.

The legal age for kids to drink at home or pub with meals is 5-17. As in give them a drink but not let them get intoxicated.

When any of ours have asked what we are drinking when we do drink at home (and we are not mega drinkers tbh) we will offer a sip. Usually followed by "eurgh tastes yuk/foul/horrible!" Do not want!

Alcohol free seems to be the same with the great "taste" . The older one is a teen now and thinks it tastes manky, makes adults loud and boring and doesnt particularly think a hangover is worth it.

I used to take Shandy Bass to school in packed lunches.

Nobody ever batted an eyelid.

Got alcohol free peroni for the 2020 euros final and kids got to try it. Neither liked which was good and means they won’t fancy trying a beer if theres any about
