In Japan, kiddie cocktails reach mass-market proportions. . .

Fake alcoholic drinks are being marketed to children purportedly to make them "feel included" in Japan's adult alcohol-drinking culture.

Packaged in authentic-looking six packs, a non-alcoholic beer is fruit flavored. Ads for the Japanese product show very young children drinking the fake beer at parties. Some worry that these drinks, which also include junior versions of wine, champagne, and cocktails, could encourage earlier under-age drinking of real alcoholic beverages.
