While grocery shopping this weekend I learned that the checkout people at the grocery store must ID people for "near beer" or NA beer. WTF?

 

how old are you son?

 

^^LOL

 

ZIMA XXX FTW!!!!

 

cuz it's not completely non alcoholic. If you drink enough of them fast enogh, you'll catch a buzz. Also the idea is that beer in general is meant to be an alcoholic beverage. If you make fake beers that kids can buy, then they're likely to want to try the real stuff. That would be marketing to minors, and it's a NO NO!

 

Why would you buy beer that was "fake" anyway?

AppleBees = $1.25 for a bud light / coors light YEAH BOY

 

I've tried buying that stuff before and they wouldn't sell it to me because I was underage.

 

I wouldn't call bud light a "real" beer. Good for , but that's it.

 

i like my beer turbocharged! none of this NA crap.

 

I believe the min age for NA beer is 18. Even though the alcohol content is very very low it is still considered an adult beverage, subject to the same taxation as real beer.
