A University of Michigan professor recently bought his 7 year-old son a bottle of "Mike's Lemonade" at a Detroit Tigers game, not realizing it contained alcohol. Media coverage (example) has focused on the father's temporary loss of child custody, or on blaming him for the mistake. But no one's pointing out that this unfortunate parent is just one of many who get fooled by how these deceptive products are packaged and marketed.
If you live in Michigan and your local newspaper carried this story, write a letter to the editor about the real problem behind this incident -- sweetened, flavored alcohol beverages designed to appeal to kids and fly under parental radar.
