This is the shocking moment a toddler was seen taking several gulps of beer in the stands at Darrell K Royal Stadium in Austin on Saturday during a Texas football game.
Fans were left stunned by the boy’s behavior as he takes three substantial sips of Michelob Ultra in the recorded video.
Sitting to the girl’s right appears to be her older brother, who is drinking water, not beer.
Her mother, sitting just to her left, is oblivious to the illegal activity her young daughter is engaging in, while the two rows behind the girl recorded it on video.
The young woman may not have even started primary school and is hopefully taking her first sips of an alcoholic beverage, let alone reaching the legal drinking age of 21.

The boy’s mother appears to be sitting to the left of the child and does not prevent him from drinking.
It is unclear whether the boy was simply told to hold the beer and did not follow instructions.
It would be even stranger if the young woman was asked to try her first alcoholic drink at such a young age in a public place.
The girl is clearly not in the wrong place, as her face is painted white, one of the two primary colors of the Longhorn.
Although underage drinking is rife on American college campuses, even at college football games, giving a young child a beer is incomprehensible.
And neither of the girl’s parents seem to be stopping this behavior, though one TikTok user says: “It’s okay, it’s just Michelob, it’s basically water.”
Some weren’t so keen on the idea of a little girl drinking, reacting to the video by saying “OMG! Why didn’t anyone tell her?” and “I’m from 1979 and this is what happens!”
Others commented that drinking beer wasn’t so bad, while others on social media claimed: “Finally a girl who doesn’t use an iPad” and “She’s supervised! She’s fine!”
Darrell K Royal has been selling alcohol inside the venue since 2015, long before many other Southeastern Conference schools stopped having dry football stadiums.
