What do kids drink?

[Burt Alcantara]

We're having about 25 adults and at least 6 kids, ages unknown, for a BBQ. We don't have kids nor do we associate with people who have kids. Drinks for the adults in a no brainer but we're stumped about the kids.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Burt

When the nieces and nephews come over, we offer lemonde from scratch and water bottles.

They drink soda mostly, ice tea (Snapple brand) lemonade, water. I don't have kids either, just mostly going by what other parents have at their BBQs. Hope this helps.

My kids and their friends drink ice tea - specifically Arnold Palmer Half & Half ice tea/lemonade. Water bottles also a great idea.

Babies...the parents will bring what they need, or should.

Toddlers...juice boxes and bottled water.

Pre-teens...soda, water, tea, lemonade, juice boxes.

Teens...same as pre-teens AND watch your beer

[Burt Alcantara]

Great suggestions. I like the juice boxes because I can load up with apple juice...hehehe.

Red Bull for all. Just kidding.... Soda, and suprising, Water bottles. My teens also like Propel. Kinda like a weak gatoraid.

I also would go with what Don says above, but make sure to have caffeine-free options on sodas.

 

[Mike Purnell]

Iced tea, water, flavored water and juice drink boxes are always safe. Popular at my house anyway.

 

[Michael G. (Canada Mike)]

Beer. But if they're little go with lite beer.

No! Sorry!

the beer's for you! Don's got it pretty dead on, though we tend to minimize the pop in favour of juices.

Milk!!! all 5 of my kids drink milk. I go through a gallon a day.

 

[Dennis Lundin]

Vodka, and put them to sleep early.

A few people mentioned soda for kids. Just note that there are sodas with caffein and sodas w/o. If you go down the soda path, to be save, get the non-caffein stuff (root beer and Sprint/7UP type drinks).
