There's a difference between non-alcoholic (or alcohol-free) and 0.0% alcohol (like it appears in the poster). The former allows for up to 0.5% ABV, while the latter means absolutely no alcohol whatsoever.

Still I don't think it's a good idea to get children used to the idea of drinking alcoholic beverages.

Yeah, I know in restaurants alcohol free requires no ID. It'd be nice if those terms were a little more clear.

They say “contains less than 0.5%” because that’s the cutoff that makes something legally beer. It more than likely has none, much of the time. That’s just the law (US):

> 0.5% it’s beer and subject to alcohol laws

< 0.5% it’s not beer, technically a food

So they label it as <0.5% simply to show that it’s in the latter category. This creates a lot of confusion for some reason.

Even the grocers (and even manufacturers) get it all messed up. Hell, half the brands don’t have required nutritional info (beer doesn’t need it, soda does) but the real problem is that:

The regulatory agencies are captured and don’t do shit anymore. TECHNICALLY the FDA should be stepping in and making them put full nutritional information on all the brands of NA “beer” and making sure it is labeled and sold like a soda.

But the larger companies that sell it are just misclassifying it and creating problems to be as lazy and risk avoidant as possible.

To be fair, teenagers should also not think about alcoholic beverages.

Counter example: kombucha has naturally occurring alcohol, but you don’t see anyone getting carded for it and you have the regular nutritional label on it.
