I find ginger ale not as sickeningly sweet as most other soft drinks. I would be more worried about that kid sliding down the banister in low friction pajamas. There's a concussion waiting to happen.

When he gets to the bottom of the banister, the kid is more likely going to learn how sensitive his package is.

Yech - I can't stand sweet ginger. Gingered up cold water without sugar, fine. Great in this hot (by Dutch standards...) weather. But add sugar? No thank you.
