Kids Beer

Have you ever wanted to just bring your kids to the bar? Are you tired of trying to find a baby sitter every time you want to go out drinking? Do you come from a long line of alcoholics who wants keep the tradition alive?
 
Well now your problems have been answered by Tomomasu, a small bottling company in Japan. These savvy inventors have created a beverage called “Kids Beer.” Although there is no actual alcohol in the brew, it has the look and feel of a real beer. Kids all over Europe will soon be able to enjoy the delectable beverage. The company promotes slogans like “Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink,” which installs the proper values in young children so that they can one day become career alcoholics.
 
Here at Barbax Drink News we are all up for new ideas and change but this one kind of seems like a bad idea. The company paints the picture of a bleak future for today’s youth and gives them the rational that the only way that life is bearable is by drinking your way through it. Maybe next time they should try a catchier slogan like “Don’t be Duds, Drink kids Suds.” Umm just kidding?
