Orange juisce has more alcohol content. Seriously.
And, yes, a 10 year old can buy non-alcoholic beer.
Can they? Not anywhere I’ve seen, it’s always in the beer section, can’t be accessed during “blue” times, carded to buy. That’s really the crux of his case. If NM allows under 21s to buy ODoul’s it’s not alcohol, if they don’t pay the fine. Maybe he should hire a lawyer, this case wouldn’t take more than a month with a professional involved.
