ShareLONDON — A century-old British lemonade has run into trouble in the U.S. because a high school student complained that the company’s Victorian-style drink contains alcohol.
The complaint prompted high school officials in Maine to contact the police, who are seeking a legal opinion from the Maine attorney general about whether the lemonade can be sold to minors.

Report AbuseWas the high school student complaining that it was not strong enough?
Those so called non beer beers also have a trace of alcohol. The spokesperson for the firm is in all probability correct about the less than 0.5% content. But an alcoholic must avoid these products. Not that they would drink 28 bottles - but the first taste of the evil spirit would send them after the real thing.
We also need to remember that there are people who have religious objections to alcohol, and they have a right to know if the "soft drinks" they buy contain alcohol.
