what exactly is the difference???
i was told that the "root" in root beer is ginger. so is the only difference between root beer and ginger ale the cola part? meaning root beer uses cola, and ginger ale uses ale??

In the case of root beer, the flavoring comes from the root of the sassafras tree or the sarsaparilla vine. Originally, the root was brewed like a tea to make an extract, but now it is much easier to buy the extract ready-made.
The root beer extract is mixed with sugar, yeast and water. If this mixture is placed in a tightly sealed bottle, the yeast will generate carbon dioxide at a high enough pressure to carbonate the water.
and Ginger ale is:
An effervescent sweetened soft drink flavored with ginger.

Good old fashioned Root Beer, although I like both. ;) I don't drink alcohol, but when I did I preferred beer. :)
