Doesn't Dobby's wife get drunk on butterbeer, though? Would seem to indicate at least a little alcohol content.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Winky gets trashed on butterbeer. One of the kids says (roughly) "but that's not very strong stuff" "It is to a house elf"
So there's something to it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Poor Dobby.

I want a Petunia II and Lily II going to school together fic. RIGHT NOW.
Wrod. And yet, I want Lily II to be a vicious bitch and Petunia II to be a sweetheart. Because I'm... like that, apparently.

Well, the butterbeer is certainly less alcoholic than the firewhiskey. (Hermione gets all "You. Are. A. PREFECT!" when Ron considers seeing if they can get served firewhiskey, but there isn't any problem with them drinking butterbeer.)
I thought of it as shandy-likt (half lager, half lemonade), which children drink all the time in England. Yes, it has alcohol, but a negligible amount

That's kind of what I was imagining. ETA: Now I want a shandy.

What's everybody's fic wishlist then?
We've already seen desire for:
Neville, Ginny & Luna at Hogwarts during DH
Harry, Ron & Hermione returning for their 7th year
Dudley's daughter Petunia going to Hogwarts with Lilly
What else?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I want to read Luna's blog.
