It is not certain if the can actually contained beer.
A video that showcases a young child seemingly drinking from a beer can during a Texas football game has attracted significant online attention, though it remains unclear if the can really did contain alcohol or was even filled at all.
The video, which has been viewed tens of millions of times on social media, appears to have been recorded by another spectator located a few rows behind the young girl at a Texas Longhorns game in Austin.
The girl is seen holding and appearing to sip from a Michelob Ultra can, and taking multiple sips. An adult sitting next to the girl appears to be distracted.

The girl’s face is not seen on camera during the video.
While it is illegal for a person under the age of 21 to drink alcohol, according to Texas state law, there is “an affirmative defense to prosecution … that the alcoholic beverage was consumed in the visible presence of the minor’s adult parent, guardian, or spouse.”
It is not clear if any relevant authorities have been made aware of the video.
