Not according to the website for white

At 8% alcohol, White Claw® Hard Seltzer Surge is a stronger wave of refreshment. Check below to see our full ingredients and nutrition labels.

Are you truly unable to recognize that the “Surge” line has more alcohol than a regular White Claw?

This. I am fine with parents deciding to let their own teen try a drink under supervision so it is not the forbidden fruit and they can observe how the teen handles 1 serving, but that is different from teens sneaking alcohol while parents are home. They should have been checking in. Boundaries are important.

Have you actually parented teenagers? They’re sneaky as hell, even if you are checking on them. Doesn’t necessarily mean parents are turning a blind eye.

It’s amazing how you assume the worst of others. Were you born with this character defect?

Yeah, this isn’t the fault of other parents. OP obviously raised their kid wrong. Either a kid is going to abide by the values of the family or not. The kid could have said no but instead chose to drink. And it very likely wasn’t the first time.

Where do you get the impression that OP cares her kid drank? She asked an easily googleable question to spark controversy.

When you google it, the first result is the surge kind that has 8%. I have never had the surge and I don’t think that’s what most people drink. The original white claw has 5%. I drink white claw and really like them. They do not taste at all like alcohol, it’s strange. I definitely get a buzz after drinking a few of them. How old is your teen op? We allowed our 16 year old to try a mimosa last night.

Regular white claw has 5%
The 70 calorie version is 3%

Bud light is 5%

Wine is usually around 12%

Teens drink these but trulys are all the rage now. They can down a six pack quick. Binge drinking and shot gunning. Any party will have these with hard liquor and beer too.

Nope - just know a whole lot of parents who think its the cool thing to "not notice" if alcohol disappears during a party where there are a lot of teens around. And, yeah, the parents should have noticed what was going on because a kid who has drank before (which OP seems to imply) is probably going to appear impaired. If parents are going to agree to host, then they need to be responsible and pay attention. "Teens are sneaky" is a lazy excuse.

My nephews open a White Claw or Truly, suck back a good glug and fill the gap with vodka.

I drank white claw a few times over the summer because a family member who owns a lake house always had a fridge full.

I had to stop. They go down quickly and cause me to get VERY drunk. One week, my cousin sent me pictures that I had NO recollection of. I didn't do anything inappropriate (other than talking non stop and probably being annoying--its a happy drunk for me), but still, I had no memory of sitting on the rooftop deck, for example, or no memory that Uncle Bill was there, let alone posing for pics, etc.

I don't even love the taste. When I drink regular beer, I'm fine.

Being realistic is not a character defect.
