Kristen Bell lets her daughters drink non-alcoholic beer during Zoom class, here's why

The Good Place star Kristen Bell revealed through a podcast that her daughters, seven-year-old Lincoln and five-year-old Delta, have developed a taste for non-alcoholic beer. The actor shared that she and her husband Dax Shepard occasionally let their daughters enjoy a refreshing drink and went onto explain how they got accustomed to the beverage. She started out by claiming that she doesn't care if people think she is a terrible parent for letting them drink beer, even though its non-alcoholic, and added that she thinks of herself as a great parent. Bell explained that her daughters' taste for the beverage stems from Shepard's sobriety efforts and the family's support of his health. She revealed that when she had her firstborn, she and Dax would stroll through their neighbourhood and Dax would have a non-alcoholic beer in his hand. Her child would often put the rim of the bottle in her mouth and because of that, it has "sentimental value" for the kids as they feel close to their father.

According to Bell, the kids get occasional 15-minute breaks to "jump around and grab a snack" between lessons during the day, and her kids decided to have a refreshing drink in the meantime.
