About this listen
Today I’m diving into a question that comes up a lot — is it safe, and is it a good idea, to give alcohol-free drinks to kids?
I’m talking specifically about drinks under 0.5% ABV (so not low, light or mid-strength alcohol).
I cover the safety aspect first, but more importantly, I explore the bigger question: should we be giving them to kids at all?
I share why these drinks aren’t made for children, what message we might be sending if we do give them to our kids, and what to consider when the conversation gets a bit trickier, especially with teenagers.
As always, no judgment, just my honest thoughts. I’d love to hear yours.
