I honestly don't mean to be rude, but I laughed when I read this.

Please check some of the alcohalic rates in europe, like in Belgium (drinking 
age 16, served at schools for lunch and dinner, children exposed to it at 
about 10, strict laws only apply to drunk driving) compared to the US, (age 21)

Guess what?  We have about 6 times the amount of alcohalics and drug users 
than belguim.  In Percentages.

And Butterbeer, as has been mentioned, if it's alcohalic at all, most likely 
has very low alcohalic content, like certain deserts.
