I noticed on my trip to Europe that beer was sold in McDonalds. Why not sell beer in America? Beer is sold in casual dining restaurants like Chilis. Fast food restaurants would make a nice profit. Sure, they would have to card their customers and this would take some extra time, but I think the benefits would outweigh the costs.

Getting and sustaining a liquor license is costly and troublesome. They may feel the "return on investment" isn't worth it.
However, more likely, they want to maintain that 'family' feel. Remember that they make a lot of money on kids, consider how many have playgrounds, offer birthday parties, and other 'enticements' targeting kids. If they started serving beer they might drive that business away. Whereas, in Europe, there is more acceptance of alcohol as a regular beverage.

Well being that the two are different host countries,that would bring upon differnt rules, because in Europe it's okay to drink all the time, almost every event in Europe has beer, but they have a very low tolerance for violence also, and as America what self-respecting american would want to take their child out for happy meal with a place full of drunks?

i think it is because there are to many people in this country who would take advantage of it and get drunk in front of a bunch of little kids and go nuts in playland
