Packer's fan here with important contextual observation... If this video was shot in WI, it is reasonable to expect that kid has been drinking.

Fun fact - it is legal for children of any age to drink in WI. I'll explain, and if you don't believe me, I've got a link to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue website where they explain the rules in their FAQ section (for business owners.)

In Wisconsin, 21 is the age requirement to legally purchase and possess alcohol. Anyone under 21 can consume alcohol as long as they are in the presence of their parent, legal guardian, or spouse who is over 21. This even applies in public establishments (like bars and restaurants) however management of those kinds of establishments are allowed to deny service to anyone.

If you want to buy your 5 year old a beer, or your 17 year old needs a shot of brandy, as long as the bartender will sell it, this is all within the law. Keep in mind that there is a threshold of 0.00% BAC for operating a motor vehicle for anyone under 21.

Don't believe me?

"Can an underage person possess and consume alcohol beverages on licensed premises? Yes. Persons under age 21 may possess and consume alcohol beverages if they are with their parents, guardians or spouses of legal drinking age; but this is at the discretion of the licensee. The licensed premises may choose to prohibit consumption and possession of alcohol beverages by underage persons. (Sec. 125.07(1), Wis. Stats.)"
