The fact is that video games have content that children can find in honestly most games that aren't developed and designed for toddlers that can be construed or simply viewed as "bad", the lesson is that like anything, kids have to be introduced to these things appropriately, so yes, it's okay for beer to be in a game, just as the other things I've listed are.

My post was pointing out that here is much worse in the game already. Usually games with "Use of Alcohol" are rated T for Teen based on the ESRB rating system.

If Graal (Attempting to include all servers) had a ESRB rating, it would probably read out as

"Use of Tobacco"
"Use of Alcohol"
"Cartoon Violence" or "Fantasy Violence" (Dependant of server and what not)
"Possibly "Crude Humor"

Interactive Elements:
Users Interact

Online Content not rated by the ESRB


Now with that out of the way, considering that it is alcohol, or the bigger worry that is being assumed, the showing of someone drinking, now is this bad for Graal? No, not really, is it bad for kids to see alcohol? Again no, but is it bad to promote the use of alcohol in a positive light? If non-educational and or not showing to drink responsibly, then no.
