i dont drink alcohol. edit: lol at people that cant stand a harmless joke, i dont even freaking know what root beer is and i doubt its even comercialized in my country, hate for uk tho can be world wide

It's like a sweetened, fizzy sassafras drink. Pretty good depending where you get it.

The USA has a weird thing where we use the words for alcoholic drinks to describe non-alcoholic ones. We also call spiced fruit drinks "cider" and actual cider "hard cider". Not sure why.

root beer has absolutely nothing to do with beer though, apart from the name.

Thank God someone is clueless about root beer, so that I have more root beer.

You are in luck then, because the majority of the world's population is clueless about root beer.
