Does root beer have ANY alcohol in it?
No, but the name made people think it did. In fact, the Women's Christian Temperance Union called for a boycott of the soft drink. Quite a controversy raged, and the Charles E. Hires Co. was nearly devastated. Finally, a lab analyzed samples of the drink and determined that it contained "less alcohol than a loaf of bread." The Women's Christian Temperance Union apologized.
