A funny theory has emerged on the internet suggesting that Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter films is a lover of beer and a good time at the pub. As evidence, a scene is cited where she downs a pint of butterbeer while Harry and Ron chat away and don't even reach for their mugs.
While the friends discuss yet another plan to save the world sitting in the "Three Broomsticks" pub, the goody two-shoes almost chugs a pint of the light brew.
However, it is worth noting that in the world of Harry Potter, butterbeer is a traditional drink popular among Hogwarts students. It is served in the village of Hogsmeade even to third-years. Butterbeer can be either non-alcoholic or mildly alcoholic, and its consumption is not considered unusual for teenagers in the magical world. However, students often drink beverages with a higher alcohol content.
Thus, the scene where Hermione enjoys butterbeer cannot 100% indicate her excessive fondness for alcohol. Although, you must agree, the reference is amusing as it is known that demons are found in quiet waters.
For those who want to try butterbeer in real life, there are many recipes adapted for home preparation.
