Which of the following is generally legal for someone under the age of 21 to do?

  1. Consume alcohol in a private setting

  2. Buy an energy drink

  3. Attend an adult-oriented event

  4. Purchase alcohol with parental consent

The correct answer is: Buy an energy drink

The legality of certain actions regarding alcohol consumption and related activities for individuals under the age of 21 varies widely and is highly regulated. In this context, purchasing an energy drink is generally legal for someone under the age of 21. Energy drinks are not classified as alcoholic beverages, and there are no age restrictions on their sale or consumption. On the other hand, consuming alcohol in a private setting, attending adult-oriented events, or purchasing alcohol with parental consent are all bound by specific legal restrictions in Texas. Alcohol consumption, even in private, is legally restricted for those under 21 years old. Adult-oriented events may involve alcohol consumption which can complicate attendance for minors. Furthermore, purchasing alcohol generally, regardless of parental consent, is still illegal for those under 21. In conclusion, being able to buy an energy drink stands apart as it does not fall under the alcohol regulations set forth by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, making it a permissible action for individuals under the legal drinking age.
