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.

OP here. Thanks for all the info!

It’s definitely 5%. DH and I like them and say we are now light weights. They remind us of Zima, that we had at parties when we were young.

Wine coolers average 6.

8% is a high alcohol content and much higher than commercial beers. 8% is comparable to craft beers/IPAs that pack a good punch.

That’s the “Surge” line. Regular WhiteClaw 5% so about the same as a beer. Impact depends on many factors obviously not the least of which is how many kid has.

About 5%. Same as a bud light.

8% alcohol, White Claw® Hard Seltzer Surge

Google white claw abv

Found out my teen had a few White Claws last night at a small NYE gathering at a friends house. They were outside, so the parents didn’t notice apparently that one of the teens brought White Claws that her college age brother had bought for them. DDs first time drinking the stuff and I’ve never had it. How much alcohol is these hard seltzers? Equivalent to how many beers? TIA
