Mildly Infuriating

Look at the text on the beer can. It’s gibberish.

Like other commenter said, its more a general vibe.

Its the blocky graphic on either side with smaller text labeled modern squared off graphics in the middle. Its the font. Its the spacing. Its got the same general flow of the dozens of AI generated websites I've seen.

Its too cleanly unclean.

The "emphasis whiskers" around "it's" in the top, middle are a dead giveaway. Plus I've seen multiple AI generated posters with this exact color/font scheme. You're gonna keep seeing it over and over now that you know what to look for, unfortunately.

I also think it's AI. It's not something in particular I can point out that makes me think that, it's more an impression. An impression that comes from having seen a ton of slop.

The style of the text is a big giveaway to me. Generated text has gotten a lot better (ie usually legible), but it's pretty much always that same block letters that aren't quite perfect enough to be a typeface, but also not designed well enough to be made by hand.

The general format of this one is also fits closely to a lot of other generated posters I've seen (some examples: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/2d35f3bf-bc05-4971-8c8d-9e69fe857bde.png). It's hard to describe, but hopefully you can see what we're talking about.

Rates of alcohol use and addiction have been decreasing.

This is just getting them started early like cigarettes always tried to do.

Ok, I did the digging on this because you asked. I actually just assumed because I was carded for NA beer that this was a law.

In the US, federally it is not illegal to sell less than 0.5% without carding. But many states treat NA beer the same as normal beer and they require the person be over 21. In the states that do not require 21 and over for NA beer many (most) stores and bars will still card because its better safe than sorry when it comes to ABC and losing your license.

So even tho it might be legal, you are probably still going to get carded, except at this place I guess.

But also I am struggling to understand why someone would choose to drink NA beer if they didn't already know what real beer was like and was trying to avoid it by getting the NA kind (like me). Like - NA beer costs the same as real beer, just buy literally anything else to drink and its cheaper.
