There used to be candy that looked like cigarettes and soft drinks made to look like a champagne bottles, and at some point we decided that was not a good idea.
I drink and I smoke, but I also think it's not a good idea to get children used to those things. You can drink responsibly but there's no quantity of alcohol that does zero damage, and the less we get young people used to them the better.
Unfortunately, there isn't a "one size fits all solution". When I was a kid, I had the candy cigarettes, champagne bottles, cap-guns to play " cops and robbers", and bb-guns to "shoot things" (trash usually)
As an adult, I don't smoke, I'll have a beer once a month or less, and I haven't robbed any banks nor go hunting. Mainly because, as an adult, I'm not interested in those things.
However, as a child, these were tools to pretend and often pretending involves replicating your environment. I definitely grew-up in a rural area, but on (80-90s) television when everyone is smoking and drinking, your relatives smoke and drink - it's normalized.
I would argue that the social shift towards no smoking and less drinking for adults, has a greater affect on children than a ban on stick shaped candy in a box.
(Now marketing vaping to young people with addictive "fun" chemical flavoring: that is evil and should be banned)
edit: fixed a couple of words
I drink non-alcoholic beer because I like the flavor of beer.
There's also no non-alcoholic fruit juice, so you should be all for 0% beer, which has less alcohol than any carton of apple juice you can buy.
It's not really about the alcohol content per se.
The issue is getting young and impressionable children used to the idea of drinking beer.
I'm pretty sure young and impressionable children get used to the idea of drinking beer from friends and family. I think the bigger issue is that the drinking age is fucking 21. It's absolutely nonsense. If you want to protect children from alcohol abuse, talk to them, teach them, let them have alcohol when they're ready to try it, in safe settings.
Very much this.
