This shit should be illegal zero alcohol or not we should not allow advertisement of beer to children. Where the fuck protect the children groups on this shit?
Why? Because it is also ~0%sugar? Ban ads for coke instead.
Edit: know a lot of people saying that 0%beer tastes not the same (what I can agree on) and thats why they do not drink alc free beer.
Could imagine the effect works also the other way round.
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.
So, there are these things called candy cigarettes. They are candy shaped like cigarettes. Despite simply being things like bubble gum or chocolate, it turns out that people who ate them as kids are about twice as likely to smoke real cigarettes as adults. This has resulted in them being banned as advertising tobacco products to children in a good number of countries. This add for nonalcoholic beer specifically saying that minors can buy it can easily be argued to be the same kind of thing, with the same kind of legal response. If consuming non-alcoholic beer as a minor results in significantly higher rates of alcohol consumption as an adult, then ads for non-alcoholic beer that target children, like the one shown, might be worth a ban.

German here. I’m absolutely flabbergasted that this incomprehensible opinion has 20 upvotes.
0% alcohol is 0% alcohol. What the fuck are you talking about?

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 also German but nobody should advertise harmful drugs to children.
The “protect the children” groups have federal cover now to actively harm children, which is what they always wanted to do anyway
