    Fruit juice naturally has around 0.5% alcohol. It’s just a side effect of wet sugar.

    There’s no legal federal limit, it’s all state law. Some states go by that 0.5%. others go by a definition that includes “things sold as beer” essentially.
    "You are holding a container. It is labeled beer. Do not give it to anyone under 21.”

    Other times stores just assume and card everyone because it’s waaay easier than nuance and you’re not legally required to sell non-alcoholic beverages to minors.
