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?
I want to read Luna's blog.
More on Teddy's life, the poor dear.
I want to see George getting on with life without Fred.
Because I like pain, evidently.
Remus and Sirius, romping around in the afterlife. Or hell, any sort of fix-it fic with Remus, Sirius, and/or Tonks. Those are the deaths I think I'm least satisfied with.
Kreacher's tale of what happened after Harry, Hermione, and Ron left Grimmauld Place.
I want to see George getting on with life without Fred.
Oh yeah.
Harry and Ron's adventures as Aurors.
Fred ghosting it up at Hogwarts.
And then moving on when George dies... rules, more like guidelines really
