Butterbeer in the books was alcoholic, but Universal has fought to communicate that Butterbeer is for everyone and they have been successful at it since everyone buys it. With introducing an alcoholic version, they would be opening up to potential missed sales by people thinking "AlL BuTTErbeEr iS ALchOhOlic NoW". Not to mention beer is in the name.
The Blue Green Milk thing is stupid as Disney just needs to admit it has a terrible drink rather than pouring booze into it. The drink needs to be re-designed and re-flavored.
I was gonna go on a tangent about it not being alcoholic in the books, but apparently I was wrong. It just is such a small amount that it doesn't affect humans as much.
