[Sca-cooks] Beverages, was Royal authenticity

[Carol Eskesen Smith]

I wouldn't recommend selling anything with over 0.5% alcohol (even the candies!) to children; if it's a beverage, it's illegal to do so, and you could get into serious trouble.  The procedure I have for ginger beer has two procedures, one for a childrens' drink, and the other to produce about a 3% alcoholic beverage.  And the alcoholic jell-0s and other similar products are theoretically kept out of reach of children - in the store, at least.

  I believe that the rule only applies in the US, as other countries
  have quite different rules about alcohol. It might be a good idea to
  look up what it actually says before figuring out the consequences.

  Even in the US, I think there's a limit below which it doesn't count,
  i.e. "near beer" and alcohol-free beer and wine do have a tiny bit
  of alcohol, but little enough that they can be sold to children.
