Video Of Young Girl Chugging A Can Of Beer At Texas Football Game Sparks Parenting Debate

TikToker Trish Prell shared the now-deleted video of a girl taking multiple swigs of a can of Michelob Ultra at a University of Texas football game while her mom seemingly had no idea—and the video is making the rounds on social media.

You know what they say about parenting: you take your eyes off of them for one second, and...

They'll chug a whole can of beer at a football game?


At least that appeared to be what was happening at a University of Texas football game while TikToker Trish Prell was recording the goings-on of the game. While recording the crowd, Prell caught what appeared to be a mom and daughter sitting together in the stands a few rows ahead of her.

What was notable about this was that the young girl was chugging an entire can of Michelob Ultra while her mom was distracted, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

The video was later shared on X by user Collin Rugg, who said:

"Toddler caught throwing back a beer at the University of Texas football game over the weekend. The child, who appears to be about 4, was seen chugging a Michelob ULTRA. Her mother appeared to be completely oblivious to what was going on."

"According to the individual who shared the video on TT, the mother was surprised to find out that her beer was all gone. 'Mom gets her beer back *beer all gone*,' said one commenter."

"'That's exactly what happened,' the creator of the video replied. It wasn't until the individual told the mom that she realized what had happened. 'We [told the mom] but by that point, she needed a new beer.'"

You can watch the video below:

While there is a standard age for alcohol consumption in each country, some parents opt to introduce their children to alcoholic beverages sooner, typically so they can learn what they like and what their bodies are comfortable with while they are in the safe environment of their home and family's company.

But parents who choose to go that route will introduce their kids to these drinks when they are teenagers, not toddlers.

Some viewers were deeply concerned about the footage.

What was alarming to viewers of the video was that the young girl didn't take one quick sip of the drink and then regret it, like so many children are prone to do when they get a little too curious at home or at a social event. Instead, she took swig after swig of the drink as if it were juice instead of beer, and she was clearly enjoying it.





Others agreed and questioned how many times the toddler had had beer before.

Viewers were concerned about the exposure she might have had, even before the game, based on how much she wanted to drink it.

If it were her first time, she probably would have only taken a sip. If she was allowed or even encouraged to drink it at home, perhaps even as some sort of calming agent, it might explain her behavior.





There's really no telling what was going on at this game. We cannot say for sure if the girl had a beer before, and we cannot say if the mom was that distracted or if she was simply ignoring her child's behavior.

But the short video spiked some interesting conversations around whether or not an early introduction to alcohol is okay for teaching purposes, and what might qualify as too early to get started.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
