KRISTEN Bell has revealed she lets her eight and nine year old kids drink non-alcoholic beer.
Frozen star Kristen, 43, whose husband Dax Shepard, 48, is a recovering alcoholic, divided fans of The Kelly Clarkson Show with her parenting approach.
The actress, who shares daughters Lincoln and Delta with actor Dax, admitted things get awkward when her eldest child asks for the beverage at restaurants.
She told Kelly, “He’s a recovering addict, but he likes non-alcoholic beer, so he’d pop one open, he’d have [Lincoln] on his chest, and we’d walk and look at the sunset.
“As a baby, she was pawing at it, and sometimes she’d suck the rim of it. So, I think it feels to her like something special, something daddy, something family.
"We’ve been at restaurants where she’s said, ‘Do you have any non-alcoholic beer?’ and I’m like, ‘Maybe we just keep that for home time.’

“But then I’m also sort of like, ‘You can judge me if you want, I’m not doing anything wrong. Like, that’s your problem.’”
In 2020, Dax revealed he relapsed after 16 years of sobriety.
The podcaster admitted he had been taking Vicodin but that he had been slowly sliding backwards for several years.
He made the admission on Armchair Expert, and shared that he felt he finally had "the humility to say I will not be any different, I won't be special, I won't be smarter, I will be exactly like everyone else."

Dax revealed that he was sober for eight years but that in 2012 he visited his father, who is also an addict and who had been prescribed percocet.
The father of two had recently been in a motorcycle accident and his sponsor knew he was on Vicodin which was in the care of his wife Kristen.
However, when he visited his dad alone, he gave him his dosage of Percocet and Dax also took the tablets, sharing that the father and son "sat there stoned and looked at the lake, and in that moment, I felt elation and I was just happy."
Dax claimed that it was one-off and he didn't feel he was sliding backwards but that "that cycle happens maybe three or four more times" over the following years.
