Kfamr and Popcornbird are still in school, and kids are taught early on here in the US that alcohol consumption is a bad thing, especially for underage people. They may change their minds when they get older, but for now, they're just voicing their concern about being around beer drinking, even if just virtually. To the young people who are being educated against drug and alcohol abuse in the schools here, seeing a picture of someone chugging a big ol' beer is the same as seeing pictures of someone smoking marijuana, because it's considered the same thing. Schools don't make any distinction between legal alcohol consumption and illegal drug consumption, just that both are BAD. I remember my daughter telling me FERVENTLY, when she was in 5th grade, that I was a DRUG ADDICT because I smoked (perfectly legal) cigarettes. So don't be too hard on them for speaking out against beer. I'd rather hear a young person opposed to drinking than all for it, anyway.
