Why do American fast food restaurants not serve beer like European fast food restaurants?
Mark asked:
I noticed on my trip to Europe that beer was sold in McDonalds. Why not sell beer in America? Beer is sold in casual dining restaurants like Chilis. Fast food restaurants would make a nice profit. Sure, they would have to card their customers and this would take some extra time, but I think the benefits would outweigh the costs.

i think it is because there are to many people in this country who would take advantage of it and get drunk in front of a bunch of little kids and go nuts in playland

The return on kids if they might drive that business away whereas in europe there is costly and sustaining liquor license is more acceptance of money on investment isnt worth it however more acceptance of.
The return on kids if they make lot of alcohol as regular beverage.
